About this map

North Fork Unalakleet River meanders southward through this interior Alaskan wilderness, eventually joining the primary Unalakleet River in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by significant elevation changes, culminating at Old Woman Mtn in the southeast corner. This peak serves as a prominent landmark near the confluence where the Old Woman River feeds into the main river system. The landscape is bisected by the administrative boundary between the Nome Census Area and the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, a line that cuts across the river valleys. Mapping this remote region reveals the intricate drainages and high ridges that have long dictated movement through the Unalakleet River basin, serving as a critical corridor for travel between the coast and the interior.
