2018 Map of Coleen A-3 NE

About this map

Canyon Village sits along a sweeping southward curve of the Porcupine River, marking a point of human habitation in a landscape defined by dramatic river meanders and shifting island formations. This 2018 survey documents the intricate hydrologic patterns of the river corridor, where the water creates landforms such as Fishhook Bend and Henry Martin Island. The terrain is shaped by these fluvial processes, with numerous oxbow lakes and wetlands scattered across the flats. The map serves as a detailed record of this remote portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, showing the relationship between the small settlement and the seasonal cycles of the river system that provides its primary connection to the surrounding region.
