2019 Map of Ruby C-4 NW

About this map

Beaver Cr and Big Cr define the hydrological character of this interior Alaska wilderness in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is marked by a complex network of wetlands and small lakes that indicate a terrain influenced by permafrost and shifting drainage patterns. This 2019 survey documents the natural state of the area, where the lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote nature of the territory. The survey provides a clear view of the topography, where low-lying drainage basins are separated by subtle elevations, as seen through the intricate contour intervals and watercourses. Genealogists or historians interested in the historical surveying of the Alaskan interior will find the detailed township and range boundaries particularly useful for locating specific land allotments or exploring the untouched wilderness of the Ruby quadrangle.
