2019 Map of Holy Cross D-1 NW

About this map

The Innoko River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex network of active and abandoned river channels. This 2019 survey captures the dynamic hydrology of the region, where the primary river course meanders significantly, leaving behind features like the Holikachuk Slough. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and seasonal floodplains, typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where water determines the movement and settlement patterns of the land. In the northern sections of the map, the topography rises into hills that overlook the river valley, providing a stark contrast to the saturated lowlands. The presence of these specific waterways indicates a remote, water-dependent environment where natural features serve as the primary landmarks and navigational routes.
