2018 Map of Fort Yukon B-5 NW

About this map

Yukon Flat dominates this landscape, characterized by a complex network of thousands of small water bodies and seasonal wetlands. The low-lying terrain of the Yukon Flat region is a vast floodplain where the meandering Lower Mouth Birch Creek flows toward the north. This specific section of the interior reveals the intricate hydrography of the Alaskan wilderness, where the lack of roads and permanent settlements reflects the seasonal pulse of the river system. At the southern end of the sheet, Canvasback Lake provides a major landmark within this dense cluster of ponds and sloughs. This 2018 survey captures the intricate boundary between permanent water and the shifting alluvial plains of the t18n r6e and t19n r7e townships, documenting a wilderness largely unchanged by modern infrastructure.
