2018 Map of Eagle C-4 NE

About this map

The Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve dominates this portion of the Alaskan interior, protecting a wilderness landscape defined by a network of drainage basins. The map illustrates a transition between high ridges and deeply etched creek beds, where water systems like Slate Cr and Ben Cr flow through the western sections. The nomenclature here reflects the distinct character of northern prospecting and seasonal exploration, seen in the colorful naming of Merry Christmas Cr and Fourth of July Cr in the southeastern quadrant. This 2018 survey provides an exact look at the natural drainage patterns and topographical boundaries before they are altered by the shifting permafrost and erosion common to the Southeast Fairbanks region.
