2016 Map of Nabesna D-2 SW

About this map

Birch Lake and Chidek Lake sit within an expansive watery corridor in this northern section of the Unorganized Borough. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by complex drainage systems and isolated elevations, where the Black Hills and Schonthida Hill rise above the surrounding wetlands in the southwest. The intricate hydrology is evidenced by numerous named bodies such as Clearwater Lake, Deep Lake, and Mundthag Lake, many of which are connected by seasonal waterways like Chindaglukne Cr. This map is particularly valuable for its record of indigenous and local names for geographic features, including Klunathkada Hill and Tahamund Lake, providing a clear view of the region's topography before significant modern development altered these remote drainages.
