About this map

The Yukon River dominates the northern landscape of this interior Alaska region, where the massive waterway splits around significant landforms like Tozitna Island and Circle Island. South of the main channel, the Tozitna Slough creates a complex riparian environment near Sword Point, giving way to a low-lying basin filled with smaller water bodies. This area is defined by its seasonal drainage patterns, featuring the sprawling Sixmile Lake and the meandering paths of Beaver Cr and Boney Cr. While the northern section is characterized by these intricate fluvial features and wetlands, the southern portion of the map shows a dramatic transition to higher elevations. The contour lines reveal a steep rise into upland territory, illustrating the rugged boundary between the Yukon's vast floodplains and the interior ridges.
