2015 Map of Kateel River C-4 SW

About this map

The Kateel River meanders across this interior Alaskan landscape, defining a remote terrain of low-lying wetlands and dramatic topographical rises. As of 2015, the river’s complex oxbows and shifting channels dominate the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural hydrological evolution of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Pika River contributes to the intricate drainage pattern, flowing through unpopulated wilderness managed under the Public Land Survey System within t1n r4e and t1n r5e. The lack of named settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this subarctic environment, where the landscape is shaped entirely by these primary watercourses and the relief of unnamed hills.
