2019 Map of Iditarod D-4 NW

About this map

The Iditarod River meanders through the western portion of this 2019 survey, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and oxbow formations characteristic of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the central and eastern sections, the terrain rises toward unnamed uplands drained by Horsefly Cr and Glacier Cr. These tributaries flow through distinct valleys that reveal the underlying topography of the Iditarod mining district's northern reaches. This modern study documents the intricate drainage patterns and hydrological features of the Alaskan interior, providing a precise look at the land's character long after the peak of the regional gold rushes. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the enduring wilderness of this remote census area.
