2019 Map of Iditarod D-1 SW

About this map

The Takotna River meanders through this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, defining a landscape of complex riparian bends and extensive wetlands. This 2019 survey captures the river's intricate oxbows and side channels as they transition through a broad valley floor between elevated terrain to the east and west. Tributaries like Fourth of July Cr and Big Cr feed into the primary drainage system, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of the Alaska interior. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote, wilderness character of this region, where the terrain is primarily shaped by water movement and seasonal shifts across the river basin.
