2018 Map of Fort Yukon A-6 SW

About this map

Shoeheel Lake and Gas Lake sit amidst a complex network of wetlands and minor drainages in this remote section of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic patterns of the Flat Creek system, including the W Fork Flat Cr, E Fork Flat Cr, and the main stem of Flat Cr itself. These waterways wind through terrain marked by numerous small basins and glacial features, such as Lower Halfway Lake and Upper Halfway Lake. The absence of established roads or settlements in this 2018 survey emphasizes the undisturbed nature of this subarctic wilderness, where the geography is shaped almost entirely by seasonal water flow and the underlying permafrost-influenced topography. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of water levels and drainage paths as they existed in the early 21st century.
