About this map

Stuyahok sits at the heart of this landscape, marking a point of human presence within the drainage basin of the Stuyahok River. The map illustrates a complex topographical divide where the Kusilvak and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Areas meet. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes, rising from the river valley toward the Ilivit Mountains in the southwest corner. The presence of Chase Mtn adds a distinct vertical landmark to this interior Alaskan region. The surveying by the U.S. Geological Survey details the township and range boundaries that overlay this remote environment, providing a structured view of the land as it was documented in the early twenty-first century. This sheet is particularly useful for understanding the hydrography and elevation contours that dictate the movement of water and travel through the northern interior.
