2018 Map of Circle C-5 SW

About this map

Preacher Cr and its northern tributary, N Fork Preacher Cr, dominate this high-latitude drainage basin within the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by the severe topography of the interior, where elevation changes are meticulously tracked across t9n r6e, t9n r7e, t8n r6e, and t8n r7e. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain devoid of modern infrastructure or named settlements, highlighting the persistent wilderness character of the Alaska interior. Smaller drainages including Quartz Cr and Convert Cr feed into the primary waterways, illustrating the complex hydrologic network that shapes the surrounding ridges. The map provides a precise record of the natural landforms as they existed before further environmental or geomorphological shifts occurred in this remote part of the state.
