About this map

The Continental Divide winds across this interior Alaskan landscape, marking the hydrologic boundary within the Kateel River region. This 2016 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, focuses on a remote high-altitude terrain defined by intricate contour patterns and deep drainages. The landscape is largely untouched by modern infrastructure, showing no roads, settlements, or named structures, which highlights the area's wild character in the early 21st century.

Organized by the Public Land Survey System, the map is divided into township and range blocks including T7n R2e, T7n R3e, T6n R2e, and T6n R3e. This grid provides the primary frame of reference for navigating the steep slopes and ridges that converge along the divide. The data, synthesized from sources like the Alaska Dept. of Transportation and the National Hydrography Dataset, offers a precise record of the natural topography in this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
