2018 Map of Circle C-4 NW

About this map

Preacher Creek winds through this interior landscape, defining the drainage patterns of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of smaller tributaries, such as Ninetyeight Pup, which feed into the larger creek system as it flows toward the northeast. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region dominated by relief and natural watercourses, with very little human-made infrastructure or settlement recorded. The mapping of these specific water bodies provides a baseline for understanding the hydrography of this sub-arctic environment, where the relationship between the local topography and the creek beds remains central to the area's geography.
