2017 Map of Ophir D-3 SW

About this map

Galatea Cr snakes across the interior of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, carving a narrow drainage through an area of substantial relief. This terrain is defined by the significant elevations of the Wapoo Hills, which dominate the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map illustrates a largely undisturbed landscape within the Public Land Survey System townships of t19s r7e, t19s r8e, t20s r7e, and t20s r8e. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex hydrology and ridge systems that characterize this part of the Alaskan interior, showing a wilderness where natural watercourses and topographic barriers dictate the movement of any traveler or surveyor. It serves as a modern record of an environment shaped by high-latitude geomorphology rather than human development.
