2019 Map of Medfra A-5 SW

About this map

The Kuskokwim River defines the southern edge of this remote Interior Alaska landscape, where low-lying wetlands give way to rising upland terrain. In the southwestern corner, the prominent rise of Appel Mtn stands as a significant landmark above the surrounding drainage basins. The area is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and ponds, most notably the meandering Broken Snowshoe Cr and Grayling Cr. This 2019 survey illustrates the untouched character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, lacking any established roads or permanent settlements within the quadrangle. The topography suggests a wilderness transition, where the river's influence on the land is countered by the isolated peaks that guide local drainage patterns.
