About this map

Northway Junction stands at the northern edge of this Alaskan interior landscape, where the Alaska Highway cuts through a dense network of wetlands and river systems. The Chisana River dominates the hydrology of the area, winding through a low-lying valley filled with numerous lakes and secondary streams like Mark Creek and Charlieskin Cr. The terrain is defined by its transition from these saturated river bottoms to the rising elevations of the surrounding hills, which frame the western and eastern edges of the valley.

Water bodies such as Tenmile Lake, Deadman Lake, and Yarger Lake are prominent features, linked by the marshy floodplain. Access to this remote region is largely limited to the highway corridor and Deadman Lake Road, which provides a path toward the southern lakes. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the eastern Alaska interior, where small lakes like Eliza Lake and Steve Lake pepper a landscape shaped by the shifting course of the glacial river.
