2018 Map of Fort Yukon C-4 SW

About this map

Venetie Landing serves as a lone point of reference in this intricate water landscape within the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The sheet is dominated by the massive, braided path of the Yukon River, which fragments into a complex network of secondary channels and backwaters. The map illustrates how the river's flow is redirected through features like Buck Yukon Slough and Nuntragut Slough, creating a terrain of seasonal wetlands and shifting gravel bars. This environment reflects the dynamic nature of the subarctic interior, where the river's movement dictates the possibility of seasonal access and habitation. The absence of roads emphasizes the complete reliance on the waterway for transportation and subsistence in this corner of Alaska.
