2016 Map of Kateel River D-2 SE

About this map

The Huslia River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and seasonal waterways. This 2016 survey documents a terrain defined by shifting channels and low-lying wetlands, where the Nuna Slough and Tom Cook Slough diverge from the main river course. The hydrological patterns here, including the presence of the First Hills Slough and the Nulitna River, suggest a highly dynamic flood plain where water bodies like Evan Lake and Clay Lake provide critical reference points in an otherwise fluid environment. This map is particularly valuable for understanding the modern drainage and navigation routes within the Yukon-Koyukuk region, illustrating the intricate relationship between primary river systems and their secondary sloughs.
