2019 Map of Medfra B-4 SW

About this map

Nixon Fork meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The terrain is defined by its water systems, including the aptly named Mystery Cr and Submarine Cr that feed into the larger river system. This 2019 survey illustrates the intricate topography of the Medfra area, where seasonal water flow shapes the land south of Hosmer Cr. The lack of road infrastructure or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this reach of the Alaskan wilderness. Researchers can trace the hydrography of small tributaries like Ruby Cr and Puzzle Cr as they weave through the low-lying sections of the Nixon Fork valley, providing a detailed look at the hydrological patterns of the northern interior.
