2016 Map of Melozitna A-1 SW

About this map

The Palisades rise prominently along the southern bank of the Yukon River, marking a dramatic geological transition in this remote Alaskan landscape. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, details the braided river system where Weir Island and Cronin Island break the water's flow. To the east, the riverbank extends toward Clay Point, a distinct geographic marker at the bend of the water. The map reflects a territory primarily defined by its natural watercourses and high-relief terrain, with the townships of t4s r26e and t4s r27e transitioning into the more pond-scattered lowlands of the interior. The lack of modern road infrastructure underscores the river's historical role as the primary artery for movement through the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
