2019 Map of Ophir A-1 SE

About this map

The Sterling Landing-Takotna Ophir Road cuts across the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a vital terrestrial link in the remote Yukon-Koyukuk region. This thoroughfare bypasses the winding course of the Innoko River, which meanders across the northern sections of the sheet. The drainage pattern here is defined by several seasonal and perennial streams, including Canadian Cr and Gulickson Cr, flowing through the subdivided townships of the Alaska interior. The map illustrates a transition between the low-lying river valley and the elevated ridges that separate these northern watersheds, providing a clear view of the topographical obstacles encountered by early twentieth-century travelers and modern land managers alike in this part of the Ophir mining district.
