About this map

The Yukon River dominates this landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk region, carving a complex network of braids and side channels across the interior Alaska wilderness. Large landmasses formed by the shifting river include Megotsol Island, Gemodecon Island, and Big Island, illustrating the dynamic nature of this fluvial system. Near Point Graham, the river receives flow from Negotsena Creek, while a labyrinth of waterways such as Holtilyet Slough and Patsy Slough weave through the lowlands.

The western portion of the map transitions into steeper terrain where smaller tributaries like Mukluk Cr drain the uplands. This area is characterized by its relative lack of permanent settlements, focusing instead on the natural hydrology and the intricate paths of Squirrel Creek as it meanders toward the main river channel. The map provides an essential record of the river's path and islands before further natural shifts occur.
