2019 Map of Ruby A-6 NE

About this map

The Sulatna River winds through the northeastern portion of this Yukon-Koyukuk interior landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gold-bearing creeks and steep gulches. Mapping provided by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a wilderness shaped by drainage patterns, including the prominent flow of Gold Run and Sunday Cr. The naming conventions found here, such as Lucky Gulch and Fourth of July Cr, reflect the regional history of exploration and the seasonal rhythms of life along these northern tributaries. In the lower reaches, Schist Cr and Nevada Cr cut through the elevation, providing a clear view of the complex topography of the Ruby A-6 NE quadrangle as it appeared in the early 21st century. This area remains largely undeveloped, preserving a landscape where transport and movement followed the natural paths of the water and the ridges between them.
