2023 Map of Nabesna C-1 NW

About this map

Chisana River winds through a vast expanse of wetlands and low-lying terrain within the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, characterizing this interior Alaska landscape. The area is defined by its complex drainage patterns, where the main river channel is joined by Scottie Creek amidst numerous unnamed ponds and marshy flats. The settlement of Alcan Border sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a rare point of human habitation in a region otherwise dominated by natural hydrology and protected wilderness. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern boundary between managed wildlife habitat and the border-crossing infrastructure, providing a precise record of the river's course and the surrounding alluvial features that dictate the movement of both water and wildlife in the Southeast Fairbanks region.
