2016 Map of Kateel River C-2 NW

About this map

The low-lying interior plains of the Yukon-Koyukuk region define this landscape, where the meandering First Hills Slough snakes through the northern reaches. This 2016 topographic study reveals a complex network of seasonal wetlands and small, unnamed lakes that dominate the terrain within t4n r9e and t4n r10e. In the southwestern corner, the Doolit River cuts across the plains, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding watershed. The survey captures a moment in the mid-2010s where the land remains largely untracked by modern infrastructure, reflecting the hydrological patterns of the Alaskan wilderness before significant human intervention. Geologists and local historians can use these precise contours to trace the shifting paths of these waterways across the flat, water-bound expanse.
