2019 Map of Ruby D-5 NE

About this map

Yukon River waters define the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the massive river system meets the dramatic elevation of the White Cliffs. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks into the Kokrines Hills, a series of ridges and summits that dominate the central and northern portions of the quadrangle. This 2019 survey documents the natural drainage patterns of the interior, centered on the winding courses of Shovel Cr and McAntee Cr. The map illustrates the transition from the low-lying river corridor to the higher, rolling elevations of the northern hills. Without roads or settlements, the sheet serves as a primary record of the topographic character and hydrological network within the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
