About this map

The Yukon River cuts a wide path through this interior Alaska landscape, dominated by the shifting channels and landforms of the river basin. At the center of the waterway lies Chetlechak Island, a large landmass surrounded by the braided currents of the Yukon. To the west, the Little Dall River meanders toward its confluence, while the rising elevations of the Fort Hamlin Hills define the southern terrain.

Evidence of human activity and earlier outposts is anchored by Fort Hamlin (Site) on the river's edge, along with a solitary Cabin further downstream. The map documents numerous tributaries feeding the main river system, including Hamlin Creek, Waldron Creek, and Mastodon Creek. These names, along with high points like Vabm Hess 2198, reflect a history of survey and travel through a region defined by its reliance on the river as a primary corridor.
