2018 Map of Circle D-3 NE

About this map

Preacher Creek dominates the lowlands of this Interior Alaska landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and oxbows. The terrain transitions from these marshy bottomlands into higher elevations, where the smaller Mule Cr drains toward the north. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the remote character of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, defined by public land survey system grids such as t14n r12e and t13n r13e. The map highlights the interplay between high-latitude drainage patterns and the relief of the surrounding hills, providing a precise record of the hydrologic features before potential environmental shifts in the subarctic corridor.
