2015 Map of Kateel River C-5 SE

About this map

The Kateel River meanders extensively through this interior Alaskan wilderness, carving a serpentine path through the lowland valleys. The topography is defined by high ridges in the west, reaching elevations that contrast sharply with the river's broad, marshy floodplain to the east. This 2015 survey illustrates the classic geomorphology of the region, where the river's loop-and-bend pattern creates numerous oxbow formations and wetlands. This area, largely devoid of named settlements or roads, is organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships including t3n r3e, t2n r4e, and t1n r4e. The map serves as a detailed record of the natural hydrology and drainage patterns of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the early 21st century.
