2016 Map of Melozitna A-1 NE

About this map

Kallands marks a singular human footprint on this stretch of the Yukon River, where the landscape transitions from the high elevations of Blueberry Ridge to a complex system of river braids and islands. The northern terrain is defined by steep contour intervals and drainages like Ida Gulch, which feed into the massive river corridor below. This 2016 survey illustrates the dynamic nature of the river, where shifting channels have created large landforms such as Tremel Island, Brant Island, and Lange Island. To the west, the river is constricted by Brant Bluff and Painter Point, showing how the local topography dictates the water's path through this interior region of Alaska. The map provides a clear record of the relationship between the elevated ridges and the active fluvial environment.
