2019 Map of Iditarod D-3 NE

About this map

Kuskokwim Mountains terrain dominates this portion of the Alaskan interior, showcasing the complex topography of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of these peaks and the neighboring Beaver Mountains, which rise sharply above the drainage basins. Water flows through the drainage of Tolstoi Cr in the northern reaches, while Windy Cr cuts through the southern sections. This 2019 survey documents a vast, unpopulated wilderness where the natural hydrology and elevation contours remain the primary features. The absence of roads or established settlements illustrates the isolation of this region within the Iditarod D-3 NE quadrangle, where movement is dictated entirely by the high mountain passes and seasonal creek beds.
