About this map

Tolovana Hot Springs and the nearby Tolovana Hot Springs Dome anchor this interior Alaska landscape, reflecting a region defined by its geothermal activity and remote accessibility. The presence of the Tolovana Hot Springs Airport in the southeastern quadrant suggests the importance of bush aviation for reaching these thermal features, which are otherwise isolated from the primary road network.

In the northwest, the Elliott Highway cuts across the corner of the map, providing a vital overland link through the hills. The drainage of Brooks Cr and several areas simply labeled Hot Springs indicate a complex hydrological system where mineral-rich waters influence the surrounding terrain. This survey illustrates the contrast between the high-elevation peaks of the dome and the marshy, low-lying drainages typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
