About this map

The Tanana River dominates this landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, carving a complex network of waterways across the interior of Alaska. This modern survey illustrates a dynamic riparian environment where the main river channel is flanked by extensive secondary systems, including Sawmill Slough and Twentyfour Mile Slough. The land is characterized by numerous seasonal wetlands and small water bodies like Big Lake, typical of the low-lying Tanana valley. Indigenous placenames are preserved on the map, such as Gux Neetseeł and Teyh Tox Dagheeyee, providing essential cultural context to these northern reaches. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Totchaket Slough meanders through the wetlands, showing the intricate drainage patterns that define this undeveloped wilderness near the confluence of major interior waterways.
