About this map

The Koyukuk River dominates this interior landscape as it winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, creating a series of dramatic bends and oxbows. These water features define the local geography, particularly where the river bypasses Lake Nogrilenten, a significant body of water situated in the lowlands. The surrounding terrain is marked by several drainages, including Discovery Cr and Henry Cr, which feed into the primary river system. This 2016 survey highlights a largely natural environment, characterized by the shifting patterns of the riverbed and the complex network of wetlands that follow its course. The lack of named roads or established settlements on this sheet suggests a region where movement is largely dictated by these waterways and the seasonal conditions of the Yukon-Koyukuk interior.
