About this map

The North Fork Kuskokwim River meanders through the southeastern corner of this Alaskan interior landscape, a stark contrast to the surrounding elevations. To the north and west, the terrain rises steadily toward the Sischu Mountains, where the drainage of Lynx Cr cuts through various townships. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an intricate look at the hydrology and topography of the Unorganized Borough, documenting a vast roadless area defined by its natural watercourses and relief. The proximity of the river to the mountain slopes suggests a classic subarctic environment where seasonal runoff from the higher peaks directly feeds into the Kuskokwim watershed.
