2017 Map of Holy Cross C-5 NE

About this map

The Bonasila River meanders through this portion of the Kusilvak Census Area, defining a landscape dominated by complex hydrography and wetland systems. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the western Alaskan interior, where small tributaries like Jackson Cr and Roberts Cr feed into larger river basins. The lack of established roads or permanent settlements in this quadrangle underscores the undeveloped nature of the region, emphasizing its character as a wilderness shaped primarily by seasonal water flow and topographical elevation changes. This map provides a precise record of these watercourses as they existed in the early 21st century, offering a baseline for environmental and hydrological study.
