2017 Map of Holy Cross A-4 SE

About this map

Stuyahok River and its surrounding wetlands dominate the northwestern corner of this 2017 study of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by the complex, winding course of Mountain Creek, which snakes through the central and southern sections of the quadrangle, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior. In the south, the presence of Pickens Slough near the edge of the survey indicates a low-lying, water-heavy environment where seasonal changes likely shift the boundaries between land and stream. This digital survey from the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the topography before contemporary environmental shifts further alter these remote waterways.
