2018 Map of Fort Yukon D-5 NE

About this map

Teedriinjik River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, a remote section of the Yukon-Koyukuk region characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and subarctic water bodies. The terrain is dominated by clusters of glacial and thermokarst lakes, including the sprawling Vunikth Lakes in the north and the isolated Vehtenjerlo Lakes to the east. These hydrologic patterns, including the course of Kocacho Cr, reflect the dynamic drainage systems common to this part of the Alaska interior. The map reveals a wild, unpopulated environment defined by its natural hydrology rather than human infrastructure, with Chahovun Lakes centered among numerous unnamed ponds and marshlands. This 2018 survey provides a precise record of the shoreline configurations and water levels during the early 21st century, essential for understanding the shifting permafrost-influenced geography of the region.
