2016 Map of Melozitna A-5 NW

About this map

Interior Alaskan wilderness within the Yukon-Koyukuk region is documented in this 2016 survey, focusing on a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and intricate drainage patterns. The terrain transitions between several township and range blocks, including T3s R17e and T4s R17e, where the contour intervals reveal significant ridges and valleys characteristic of the Melozitna area. Unlike more developed regions, this map shows a land largely devoid of named human settlements or infrastructure, emphasizing the natural topography and the Public Land Survey System boundaries that organize this remote territory. The absence of roads or structures highlighted by the U.S. Geological Survey underscores the primitive state of the interior, making it a valuable reference for understanding the physical geography of the Alaskan bush before any modern encroachment.
