2019 Map of Medfra C-1 NE

About this map

The North Fork Kuskokwim River meanders across the northwestern corner of this interior Alaska landscape, defining a low-lying basin characterized by complex hydrological patterns. This 2019 survey documents a wilderness area where drainage is primarily facilitated by seasonal tributaries like Edaburge Cr and Medicineman Cr. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward the prominence of Munsatli Ridge, which marks a significant topographical shift from the river valley to higher elevations. The map reveals the stark natural divisions of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where the only human-imposed structure is the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the environmental character of the territory as it existed in the early 21st century, centered on the Fish Cr drainage and the surrounding ridges.
