2019 Map of Dillingham D-3 SE

About this map

The Mulchatna River winds through this expanse of southwestern Alaska, defining the central drainage of a landscape dominated by complex hydrography and shifting wetlands. This 2019 survey captures the river's intricate braided patterns and numerous oxbow lakes as it flows through the public land survey townships of T4S R44W and T5S R44W. The map provides a high-resolution look at the riparian corridor and the surrounding low-lying terrain, where subtle elevation changes of only ten feet are meticulously recorded. For those studying the hydrology of the Dillingham Census Area, the map's detailed contouring reveals the natural floodplains and the network of smaller unnamed tributaries that feed into the main channel.
