About this map

The Yukon River dominates this landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, flowing past islands and into a complex network of wetlands and minor waterways. Large landmasses within the main channel, such as Sevenmile Island and Halfway Island, characterize the braiding nature of the river here. The river's historical importance as a transit corridor is evident in the surrounding terrain, where ancient bypasses and backwaters like Kaiyuh Slough weave through the interior. Toward the southeastern corner, the Khotol River meanders toward its confluence, illustrating the drainage patterns of the interior basin. This survey provides a high-resolution look at the shifting silt and water that define the region, showing how the primary river system influences the geography of the surrounding wilderness.
