2016 Map of Hughes D-2 SE

About this map

The Alatna River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape as it meanders through a valley defined by the sharp topographical contours of the surrounding uplands. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the complex fluvial morphology of the river system, where broad gravel bars and shifting secondary channels indicate a dynamic hydrological environment. The map provides precise township and range data for the region, including t17n r24e and t16n r24e, which is critical for identifying public land survey boundaries in this roadless wilderness. The lack of named settlements or infrastructure underscores the primary character of the terrain as a preserved natural corridor focused entirely on the watercourse and its immediate drainage basin.
