2015 Map of Kateel River B-4 NE

About this map

The Koyukuk River winds through this interior landscape, defining a complex network of active and abandoned river channels. This hydrologic pattern is most evident where the Three Day Slough meanders east of the main channel, illustrating the dynamic shifting of these Arctic waterways over time. In the central portion of the map, the Kateel River makes its final approach to its confluence with the Koyukuk, marking a significant intersection of traditional water travel routes. Aside from the isolated Sam White Lake on the eastern edge, the terrain is dominated by the floodplains and low-lying drainages typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2015 survey provides a precise record of the river's course, which is vital for understanding the historical movement and seasonal accessibility of this remote northern territory.
