2018 Map of Fort Yukon D-5 SE

About this map

Teedriinjik River meanders through this portion of the Yukon Flats, a region characterized by its intricate network of waterways and low-lying wetlands. The river's shifting course is evident in the numerous oxbow lakes and abandoned channels that dot the landscape, including Bearman Lake. To the west, the foothills of the Crazy Mountains begin to rise, providing a distinct topographic contrast to the surrounding alluvial plain. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the natural hydrology of the eastern interior of Alaska, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the territory. The map serves as a primary record of the land's physical layout, preserved through the Public Land Survey System grids such as t24n r7e and t23n r8e, which provide a framework for understanding this remote landscape.
