About this map

Babantaltlin Hills dominate the central-western portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop for the complex drainage patterns of the Koyukuk region. In the northeast corner, the Hogatza River cuts through the terrain, while the lower elevations are defined by the winding paths of Babantaltlin Cr and McLanes Cr. The map reveals a land structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries such as t10n r17e and t9n r18e marking the vast, unsettled reaches. The lack of road infrastructure or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this Yukon-Koyukuk territory, where the topography itself remains the primary navigational guide for those traversing the river valleys and high ridges.
