About this map

The Top of the World Highway winds through this high-latitude terrain within the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, serving as a critical artery near the international border. This remote landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Walker Fork and its many tributaries such as Cherry Cr, Turk Cr, and Carline Cr. The presence of the Boundary Airport near the center of the sheet highlights the region's reliance on aviation for connectivity in an area where roads are sparse.

Drainage patterns dictate the movement through these highlands, with northern creeks like Arkansas Cr and Baby Cr feeding into larger systems beyond the quadrangle. The topography is characterized by significant elevation changes, etched by Canyon Cr and Brooks Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness as it existed in 2018, documenting the relationship between the singular highway and the rugged natural drainage system.
