2015 Map of Kateel River D-5 SW

About this map

Darby Cr carves a narrow course through the southwestern corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing the primary hydrological feature in an otherwise high-elevation wilderness. The map focuses on the complex topography of the Kateel River region, defined by substantial elevation changes and surveyed township boundaries such as t6n r2e and t5n r3e. While the area is devoid of permanent human settlements or named structures, the precise contour mapping reveals a high-relief terrain of ridges and valleys characteristic of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a technical look at the land's form and drainage patterns before modern development reached this remote sector of the Alaskan interior.
