About this map

The Tozitna River winds through the heart of this Yukon-Koyukuk landscape, defining a network of drainages and wetlands in the Alaskan interior. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the terrain is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes and named waterways that reflect the local fauna and the challenging nature of the land. Significant tributaries such as Reindeer Creek and Ptarmigan Creek flow from the higher elevations toward the river valley, while the curiously named Hellbent Creek suggests the character of the trek through this unpopulated wilderness. In the southern reaches, Tenmile Creek and Bear Creek cut through the ridges, eventually leading toward the high point at VABM 2184 Bear. This map captures a moment before modern development, showing the natural hydrology and topographical landmarks used by those navigating this interior territory.
