2016 Map of Kateel River C-3 SE

About this map

Three-Day-Slough dominates this remote Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and meanders. The slough's intricate path illustrates the dynamic hydrology of the region, where water levels and shifting channels are the primary architects of the terrain. To the south, Tachanlowa Lake sits within a low-lying basin, while the Koyukuk River cuts through the southeastern corner of the survey. A prominent landform known as Colville Bend highlights a significant turn in the waterway, marking a point of geological interest for those studying the fluvial processes of the Yukon-Koyukuk interior. This 2016 survey documents the precise configuration of these vital water bodies before the inevitable shifts caused by seasonal flooding and permafrost changes.
