2017 Map of Livengood D-6 SW

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a wide path through the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In this 2017 study, the river is shown meandering past several prominent landforms, including Sightas Island in the northeast and Kalka Island and Crescent Island further downstream. The complex hydrography of the area is further defined by the Big Salt River entering from the north and Isom Cr draining the southeastern reaches. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes that rise steeply from the riverbanks, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this subarctic environment. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within these township boundaries highlights the wilderness character of the region, where the great river serves as the primary corridor for movement and geography.
