About this map

The Alatna River snakes through this Interior Alaska landscape, forming dramatic oxbow bends and wide meanders as it flows between the highland ridges. The river's path is the central geographic feature of the quadrangle, illustrating the shifting nature of the arctic waterway where abandoned channels and seasonal bars are clearly visible. To the north and east, the drainage of Sinyalak Cr cuts through the high ground, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the rigid boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including t15n r26e and t15n r27e. This topographic record provides a precise look at the hydrology and relief of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, capturing the remote river valleys before further modern landscape changes.
