2018 Map of Circle D-1 NW

About this map

Birch Creek meanders through this vast wetland landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, forming an intricate network of oxbows and recursive loops across the interior of Alaska. The terrain is defined by low-lying marshlands and subtle elevation changes, where the water system dictates the local geography. Bog Lake sits as a primary landmark within this aquatic labyrinth, surrounded by unnamed ponds and smaller sloughs. Surveyed in the late 2010s, this map captures a snapshot of the subarctic environment where the land is constantly reshaped by the seasonal flow and shifting banks of the creek. The grid lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t13n r16e, overlay this wilderness, providing a coordinate-based reference for an area devoid of roads or settlements.
