About this map

The Yukon River dominates this interior landscape, carving through a region defined by its wide river bends and seasonal waterways. A massive landform known as Sixteenmile Island sits within the main channel, splitting the flow between high-relief terrain to the north and a dense network of sloughs and lakes to the south. This transition from steep elevation to the marshy lowlands of the river valley is illustrated by the drainage of Coal Cr and Spicer Cr into the river's path.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are further evidenced by Hay Slough and the expansive Long Lake, which characterize the alluvial plain south of the river. The contrast between the upland topography in t5n r20w and the lower basin around Sixteenmile Lake suggests a complex hydrological environment where the river's movement significantly shapes the local geography and accessible land.
