About this map

Alaska Range peaks dominate the northern and southern edges of this remote interior landscape, creating a high-elevation corridor defined by dramatic relief. Central to this topography is Suslota Pass, a natural crossing point that funnels drainage between mountain ridges. To the north, the headwaters of the Little Tok River wind through an intricate network of wetlands and smaller tributaries including Buck Cr. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the descent of Suslota Cr, which flows away from the pass through steep-sided valleys. The drainage patterns here reveal a classic glacial and alpine watershed, where the high ridges of the Alaska Range dictate the flow of water and the likely paths of traditional travel through the interior.
