About this map

Kuskokwim Mountains terrain dominates this 2019 survey, showcasing a complex network of ridgelines and drainages along the interior Alaskan border of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and the Bethel Census Area. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, most notably the Nunsatuk River winding through the eastern portion and the headwaters of Moose Cr in the central valleys.

The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this region during the early 21st century. The map provides a precise record of the natural topography and hydrologic patterns, including numerous unnamed tributaries and seasonal wetlands that drain into the larger river systems. This data is critical for understanding the drainage basins within the Iditarod region, where the elevation changes and water flow dictate the movement through this unpopulated interior.
