2017 Map of Holy Cross A-3 SE

About this map

The Yukon River dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its wide channel and shifting hydrology marked by features like Big Bend Slough and Horse Island. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into a series of prominent elevations, including the Holy Cross Hills and the southern Paimiut Hills, which overlook the river valley. The topography is defined by the steep ascents of Monocline Bluff and Channel Bluff, where the river has cut deep into the surrounding landforms over time. Further south, the peak of Tabernacle Mtn serves as a significant landmark in this sparsely settled region. Small interior water bodies like Crooked Lake are situated in the low-lying basins between these ridges, illustrating the complex drainage patterns typical of the Alaska interior.
