2018 Map of Fort Yukon A-2 NE

About this map

Yukon River dominance defines this portion of the interior, where the massive waterway splits into an intricate web of braids, bars, and shifting channels. Within this dynamic fluvial landscape lies Saloon Island, a major topographical feature surrounded by the river's various arms. The presence of Halfway Whirlpool along the main channel provides a rare specific navigational landmark in a region otherwise characterized by vast wetlands and seasonal floodplains. This 2018 survey documents the precise configuration of these waterways and islands before natural shifts in current and ice melt inevitably reshape the banks. The map highlights the intersection of public land survey boundaries, including t16n r14e and t16n r15e, which organize this untamed segment of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.
