2013 Map of Fairbanks D-5 SW

About this map

The Tanana River cuts through the northwest corner of this Interior Alaska landscape, defining a complex hydrologic network in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2013 survey reveals a vast wetland environment characterized by numerous unnamed ponds and drainage patterns typical of the river's floodplains. To the east, Lunch Lake and Sawmill Slough provide primary geographic reference points within an otherwise transitionary landscape of water and low-lying terrain. The lack of established road infrastructure or named settlements highlights the isolated nature of this area, where seasonal water levels and the shifting course of the river remain the dominant forces shaping the land.
