2018 Map of Eagle A-6 NW

About this map

Mt Harper rises as a primary landmark within the high-altitude landscape of the Mertie Mountains, where steep ridgelines and deep valleys dictate the flow of the local water system. This interior Alaskan terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of the Healy River, which winds across the central and southern sections of the map, and the S Fork Goodpaster River in the northwest. The absence of roads or developed settlements underscores the isolation of this region within the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. Instead, the map reveals a purely topographical character, dominated by elevation contours that trace the complex fingers of the mountain range and the natural corridors carved by glacial or seasonal runoff. Researchers can study the untouched hydrology of these forks and rivers as they existed in the early 21st century.
