2019 Map of Iditarod D-1 SE

About this map

The Kuskokwim Mountains define the western landscape of this remote interior region, anchored by the prominent peak of Mt Joaquin. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of wetlands and drainage patterns typical of the Alaskan wilderness, where the Tatalina River meanders across the eastern flats. The map documents a territory defined by its natural watercourses rather than human infrastructure, as the valley floor is dominated by the winding path of the river and smaller tributaries like Carl Cr. These features provide a record of the hydrological and topographic character of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, illustrating how the mountains transition into the expansive river basins of the interior.
