2019 Map of McGrath C-5 NW

About this map

The Katlitna River winds through this expanse of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by intricate hydrological patterns and varied relief. The absence of roads or established settlements on the 2019 survey highlights the isolated nature of this Alaskan interior, where the terrain is governed by the natural flow of water and the township and range divisions of the Public Land Survey System. Topographic contours reveal a series of ridges and valleys that transition into the low-lying wetlands surrounding the river's path, providing a detailed look at the physical geography before any modern infrastructure development. This map captures the region in its natural state, dominated by the Katlitna River as it meanders across the northwestern portion of the McGrath C-5 quadrangle.
