2015 Map of Kateel River D-6 NW

About this map

The Tagagawik River meanders across this landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where the Northwest Arctic Borough Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area boundary creates a formal division across the wilderness. The terrain is characterized by a series of high ridges and deep drainage basins, where the contour lines reveal the complex vertical relief typical of this interior Alaskan corridor. Without named settlements or roads, the map focuses on the raw topography and the water system that dominates the lowlands, providing a clear view of the natural landforms before they are influenced by modern infrastructure. The surveyor's focus remains on the precise township and range divisions, such as t7n r1w and t6n r1w, which provide the only human-imposed grid over the native river systems.
