2016 Map of Melozitna D-5 SW

About this map

Dulbi Flats dominates the western portion of this interior landscape, where a dense network of small lakes and marshes covers the low-lying terrain. The transition from these wetlands to the higher ground of the eastern quadrant is marked by the rising slopes of Bear Mtn, which serves as a prominent landmark in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape largely defined by its natural topography, illustrating the sharp contrast between the saturated bottomlands and the upland peaks. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within this particular quadrant emphasizes the wilderness character of the Melozitna River drainage area at this time.
