2015 Map of Kateel River A-4 NE

About this map

Koyukuk River bends sharply through this remote interior landscape, where the shifting riverbed and high-relief terrain define the geography. The waterway, a critical artery for transport and subsistence in the Yukon-Koyukuk region, is joined at its northern reach by the Gisasa River. Centered in the drainage is Chips Island, a prominent landform within the braided river system that illustrates the dynamic hydrology of the Alaskan wilderness. The map captures the intricate contour patterns of the western hills, which rise steeply from the riverbanks, providing a detailed look at the natural drainage patterns and topographical boundaries before the area was impacted by modern infrastructure or development.
