2018 Map of Eagle C-2 SE

About this map

The Mertie Mountains dominate the western edge of this interior Alaska landscape, providing a high-relief backdrop to a complex network of northern drainages. Within the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, the terrain is defined by the headwaters of several remote waterways, including the winding course of Bear Cr and the extensive basin of Champion Cr. The drainage pattern suggests a high-elevation plateau deeply dissected by water action, with smaller tributaries like Oregon Cr and Teddys Fork branching into narrow valleys. This 2018 survey reveals the raw hydrography of the subarctic wilderness before these waters reach the larger regional river systems. The southeastern portion of the map is particularly intricate, where the Little Champion Cr begins its descent through the steepening slopes of the mountain range.
