The Fortymile Wild and Scenic River defines the northeastern corner of this interior Alaska landscape, where high-altitude ridges and deep drainage basins dominate the terrain. Flowing through the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, the river is protected as part of a national system designed to preserve its free-flowing condition. Further west, the Goodpaster River and Joseph Creek carve paths through the mountainous topography of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and steep contour gradients typical of this subarctic wilderness, providing a precise record of the natural watercourses that have historically guided exploration and mineral prospecting in the region. Settlement is absent here, leaving the topography and protected waterways as the primary focus for geological and environmental study.
