2016 Map of Melozitna A-2 NE

About this map

Birches sits at the southern edge of this interior landscape, positioned along the northern banks of the Yukon River. This 2016 survey captures a transitional zone where the high terrain of Gold Mtn to the northwest gives way to the lower-lying river flats. The mapping reflects the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System, specifically demarcating the boundaries of t3s r25e, t3s r26e, t4s r25e, and t4s r26e. While the topography is predominantly defined by significant elevation changes near the mountain peaks, the presence of the settlement at Birches indicates a localized focus of activity in a region otherwise characterized by its natural contours and the seasonal rhythms of the great river corridor.
