2018 Map of Fort Yukon C-5 SW

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, carving a complex network of seasonal and permanent waterways across the interior. The river's influence is seen in the winding course of Crazy Slough, which meanders through the northern townships of t21n r6e and t21n r7e. The map documents a shifting hydrological environment where landmarks like Deadman Island and Willow Point serve as fixed navigational aids for those traveling these remote northern waters. This 2018 survey illustrates the classic braided river patterns of the Alaskan interior, showing how the main channel of the Yukon interacts with smaller sloughs and wetlands. This level of detail is essential for understanding the seasonal accessibility of the region and the geographical markers relied upon by local hunters and travelers.
