2019 Map of Ruby D-5 NW

About this map

Melozitna River carves a deep path through the interior of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, as shown in this 2019 survey. The most prominent terrain feature is the Melozitna Canyon, where the river's course is tightly constrained by steep, high-elevation topography. This map documents a remote stretch of the Alaskan wilderness where the river serves as the primary geographical anchor, joined in the southeast by McAntee Cr. The landscape is defined by the absence of permanent human structures, settlements, or established roads, instead showing the natural drainage patterns and elevation contours within the survey blocks of t6s r17e and t7s r17e. It is an essential document for understanding the hydrologic and geologic structure of this interior river system in the early twenty-first century.
