2023 Map of Nabesna D-1 NW

About this map

Northway stands as the primary human presence in this expanse of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, situated in a landscape dominated by complex wetlands and braided waterways. The topography is defined by the winding course of Gardner Creek, which meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle amidst a dense network of marshes and small lakes. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the modern character of this interior Alaska region, where the Public Land Survey System grids of t14n r21e, t14n r22e, t13n r21e, and t13n r22e overlay a wilderness shaped by permafrost and seasonal hydrological shifts. For those studying the geography of the eastern Alaska interior, the map reveals the intricate drainage patterns that dictate travel and land use in this subarctic environment.
