2015 Map of Kateel River C-5 SW

About this map

The S Fork Huslia River meanders across the interior Alaskan landscape in this 2015 survey, its winding course defining the drainages of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, the Kateel River creates a network of low-lying wetlands and oxbows, illustrating the complex hydrology of the northern wilderness. This map documents the remote terrain within several townships, including t3n r2e and t2n r3e, where the lack of roads or human structures emphasizes the isolation of the subarctic environment. The detailed contour intervals capture the subtle elevation changes that guide these arctic waterways through the vast river valleys.
