2016 Map of Nabesna D-3 SE

About this map

Nabesna River dominates this interior landscape as it braids through the center of the quadrangle, joined from the west by the Kalutna River and Cheslina River. The terrain transitions from the wide, shifting gravel bars and wetlands of the river valley to the rising elevation of the Black Hills in the southeast. This 2016 survey provides a record of the hydrological patterns and topographic relief in a roadless portion of the Alaskan interior, where the glacial-fed waters dictate the character of the land. The absence of permanent settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this region within the Unorganized Borough, where traditional land use and natural processes remain primary.
