2016 Map of Melozitna C-5 NW

About this map

Hydrological patterns and subtle elevation shifts define this interior Alaskan landscape within the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The area is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands, ponds, and small lakes that dominate the low-lying terrain. Surveyed boundaries for T4n R16e, T4n R17e, T3n R16e, and T3n R17e provide the primary structural framework for this largely undeveloped wilderness. The map reveals the complex drainage systems typical of the subarctic, where water bodies frequently shift and merge across a landscape shaped by permafrost and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. With no roads or permanent settlements indicated, the map serves as a primary record of the natural topography and hydrography as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
