About this map

The Chilkat River floodplains dominate the landscape of this region north of Haines, where braided water channels and wetlands create a complex riparian environment. Small settlements like Mosquito Lake and Moose Valley are established along the valley floor, connected by a network of local roads such as Kelsall Road and Moose Valley Road. The map reveals the critical intersection of multiple waterways, including the confluence of the Klehini River and the Tsirku River with the main Chilkat artery.

Transportation through this part of the borough is anchored by the Haines Highway, which follows the northern bank of the Klehini. The terrain rises sharply away from the river valleys, leading to distinctive landforms like Goat Hollow and numerous drainage creeks including Herman Cr and Muncaster Cr. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the wilderness of the Little Salmon River drainage and the established local road system.
