2019 Map of Dillingham D-3 NW

About this map

Harris Creek and its tributaries flow through this remote landscape in the Dillingham Census Area, defining a terrain of numerous small lakes and varying elevation. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Harris Cr winds through a valley between significant ridges, while further south, the drainage patterns shift as Cranberry Cr navigates a lower, wetland-rich environment. This 2019 survey documents the intricate hydrography of the region, where the water table and surface topography create a complex network of unnamed ponds and marshes across the townships of T2S R46W and T3S R45W. The landscape is characterized by its lack of infrastructure, illustrating the wild character of this part of Alaska where natural drainage and contour lines remain the primary geographic landmarks.
