2019 Map of Ophir D-2 NW

About this map

Galatea Creek winds through the interior drainage systems of the Yukon-Koyukuk region in this 2019 survey. The landscape is defined by its topographic relief and the Public Land Survey System grids of t18s r10e and t17s r11e, representing a wilderness area primarily organized by its legal land descriptions rather than established townsites. The northern portion of the sheet is dominated by the headwaters of Galatea Cr, while the southeastern corner is marked by the presence of Wapoo Cr. These water bodies serve as the primary geographical anchors for a region devoid of contemporary road infrastructure or named settlements, reflecting the remote character of central Alaska’s interior. Researchers can use the precise contouring to study the natural watershed boundaries and the elevation changes that govern the local environment.
