About this map

The Chulitna River winds through this expanse of the Lake and Peninsula Borough, defining a landscape of complex water systems and topographic variation. This 2019 survey documents the river as it meanders across the northwestern and central portions of the quadrangle, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns and numerous small ponds characteristic of this Alaskan interior. The terrain transitions from relatively flat wetlands in the west toward more pronounced elevation gains in the east, where the contour lines tighten significantly.

Because the area is largely undeveloped, the map serves as a primary record of the natural hydrology and the established township boundaries, including t1s r38w, t1s r37w, t2s r38w, and t2s r37w. These grid divisions provide the only structural markers in a region otherwise defined by its shifting river channels and seasonal water bodies. For those studying the remote wilderness of southern Alaska, this sheet offers an exact look at the river's path through the subarctic landscape.
