2018 Map of Coleen D-3 SW

About this map

The Coleen River defines the landscape of this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, winding through a complex of oxbow lakes and braided channels. This 2018 survey documents the river's path through the survey townships of t35n r23e, t35n r24e, t34n r23e, and t34n r24e. The hydrological patterns shown here illustrate a dynamic interior river system, where shifting waters create a labyrinth of seasonal sloughs and islands. Absent of any roads or named settlements, the map provides a precise record of the shoreline and elevation contours as they existed in the early twenty-first century, offering a clear baseline for studying the natural migration of the waterway and its impact on the surrounding wetland terrain.
