2024 Map of Livengood A-5 SW

About this map

Minto sits at the edge of a massive wetland complex where the Tolovana River meanders through the interior Alaska landscape. This 2024 survey captures the intricate water network of the Tanana Valley, where the Chatanika River and Tatalina River converge amidst a labyrinth of lakes and marshland. The terrain is characterized by dramatic shifts between low-lying basins and sudden elevations, such as the prominent ridge systems rising west of the river basins. The presence of Swanneck Slough and countless unnamed water bodies highlights the seasonal dynamism of this subarctic environment, vital for local subsistence and navigation. The map's layout across several townships including t3n r9w and t2n r9w underscores the vast, undeveloped character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where traditional land use remains closely tied to these specific waterway corridors.
