About this map

The Coleen River meanders through the heart of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in this late twentieth-century landscape. Characterized by intricate drainage networks, the map captures the junction where Boulder Creek feeds into the main river channel. Evidence of human presence is sparse but specific, marked by the solitary location of Owens Cabins on the eastern bank.

Transport through this northern interior relied on the seasonal Winter Trail, which follows the river's eastern corridor. High points like Lois Dome rise above a series of named tributaries including Khayyam Creek, Omar Creek, and the aptly named Procrastination Creek. This 1990 edition, based on 1978 photography, provides an essential record of the hydrology and landmarks of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before the turn of the millennium.
