2019 Map of Iditarod C-5 NE

About this map

The Iditarod River meanders through the eastern edge of this Interior Alaska landscape, defining a remote corridor within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. This 2019 survey, based on elevation data and imagery from the previous decade, captures the unpopulated terrain as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map is primarily characterized by significant elevation changes, with ridges and drainages such as Franklin Cr in the southwest feeding the broader watershed. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the region, where the primary organizational markers are the Public Land Survey System township and range boundaries, including t30n r47w and t31n r48w. Researchers of Alaskan geography can observe the complex topographical contour patterns that dictate the flow of minor tributaries toward the larger river systems of the Iditarod district.
