2019 Map of Medfra B-1 NW

About this map

Telida sits at the southern edge of this interior landscape, positioned near the confluence of vital waterways that have long dictated movement through the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The settlement is supported by the Telida Airport, providing a critical connection to the wider Alaskan interior where roads are absent. The hydrology is the defining characteristic of the terrain, with the meandering Swift Fork and the intricate channels of Red Slough dominating the eastern half of the map. To the west, the drainage of Pontag Cr cuts through the low-lying wetlands and subtle elevation changes. This 2019 survey documents a remote environment where the natural drainage patterns of the Kuskokwim River basin remain the primary geographical features, illustrating the isolation and specialized infrastructure required for life in this part of the Unorganized Borough.
