About this map

The Tanana River anchors this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex of glacial and alluvial water bodies. The terrain is defined by its hydrology, where large basins such as Tlocogn Lake, Tlechegn Lake, and Tsilehin Lake sit south of the primary river channel. These names reflect the local heritage and geography of the Unorganized Borough, situated in a region where the vast river drainage systems have historically dictated travel and subsistence patterns.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Alaska Hwy, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, bridging the gap between the higher elevations to the northeast and the marshy lowlands to the southwest. Smaller water features like Midway Lake and the drainage of Bitters Cr further illustrate the intricate network of water that characterizes this subarctic environment, offering a snapshot of the corridor's geography as it appeared in 2013.
