2016 Map of Kateel River A-3 SE

About this map

Natlaratlen River meanders across this subarctic terrain in the Yukon-Koyukuk region, defining a landscape dominated by complex hydrography and wetland systems. The river’s winding course is mirrored by Nikolai Slough further south, illustrating the dynamic nature of these interior Alaskan waterways as they migrate across the floodplains. This 2016 survey documents a wilderness environment largely devoid of human infrastructure, where the primary organizational structures are the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t5s r8e and t4s r9e. The concentration of oxbow lakes and abandoned river channels provides a precise look at the shifting alluvial processes within this remote river basin.
