About this map

The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid defines the structure of this remote interior Alaska landscape, situated within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The map highlights the intersection of several townships including T3s R17w, T3s R16w, and T4s R17w, where the terrain is dominated by natural elevation patterns and subtle water features rather than human infrastructure. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the T4s R16w and T5s R17w regions during this period.

Contour lines reveal a series of rolling uplands and drainages that feed the broader Kantishna River system. The detailed topography in T5s R16w and surrounding sections provides a clear look at the drainage patterns and landforms that have remained largely undisturbed by development, making this a key reference for understanding the physical geography of the Alaskan interior in the early twenty-first century.
