2017 Map of Holy Cross C-5 NW

About this map

The Nulato Hills dominate the northern landscape of this region within the Kusilvak Census Area, providing a sharp topographic contrast to the low-lying wetlands that spread across the southern half of the sheet. The Atchelinguk River meanders through these southern flats, tracing a complex path that reflects the seasonal drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior. In the southeastern corner, Jackson Cr flows through the transition zone between the elevated terrain and the marshy basins. This 2017 survey illustrates a wild, unpopulated landscape defined entirely by its hydrography and elevation, where the lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the significance of these natural waterways as primary landmarks for navigation and land use.
