2016 Map of Tanana A-6 NW

About this map

Yukon River waters dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as the central geographic feature of the Tanana region. The settlement of Grant Creek sits on the northern bank, positioned near the mouth of its namesake Grant Creek. This area is defined by the complex hydrology of the river valley, where the main channel is braided with features like Darvin Island and Swanson Slough. To the south of the river, the terrain flattens into a network of wetlands and wandering watercourses, most notably the Blind River. This 2016 survey illustrates the remote character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where life and travel remain closely tied to the seasonal cycles of the river system and its various tributaries such as Windy Creek and Monday Creek.
