About this map

The Tanana River cuts through this interior landscape, defining the transition between the high northern uplands and the river valley floor. Along the southern bank, the Alaska Highway runs parallel to the waterway, serving as the primary corridor for movement through the region. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent importance of this roadway in connecting remote stretches of the Unorganized Borough.

Key geographical landmarks include the Cathedral Bluffs and the churning waters of the Cathedral Rapids. Small water bodies and tributaries like Moon Lake, Yerrick Cr, and Mansfield Cr are essential features for understanding the local hydrography. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Cathedral Rapids Cr Number 1 as it flows toward the main river channel, offering a clear view of the wilderness environment in the early 21st century.
