About this map

The Chisana River winds through a vast complex of wetlands and lakes in this part of Southeast Fairbanks, where the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge preserves a landscape defined by water and low-lying topography. The Alaska Highway serves as the primary corridor through this wilderness, passing near Northway and providing access to the interior. The abundance of water is evident in the numerous named bodies that dot the terrain, including Silver Creek, Yarger Lake, and Eliza Lake.

Navigation and local travel are concentrated near the river and the highway, with Deadman Lake Road branching off toward the significant waters of Deadman Lake. This area represents a classic Alaskan subarctic environment, where seasonal drainages like Mark Creek, Charleston Creek, and Tenmile Creek feed into larger systems. The map illustrates a region where human infrastructure, such as the highway, is closely dictated by the drainage patterns of the river valley.
