About this map

The Koyukuk River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, creating a complex network of waterways including the dramatic curve at Long Bend and the parallel flow of Long Slough. This 2016 survey captures the hydrologic character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where the river's meandering path has carved out numerous water bodies such as Batztoa Lake and the geothermal Tunalkten Hot Spring situated near Tunalkten Lake.

Rising to the west, the Hatdolitna Hills provide a stark contrast to the low-lying river basin. The terrain is further defined by several tributaries, including Atla Cr and Raven Cr, which drain the surrounding highlands into the main river channel. This map illustrates the intersection of several townships, including T9N R22E and T10N R23E, in a region where the natural water systems remain the primary geographic landmarks.
