2016 Map of Tanana D-3 NW

About this map

Kanuti-Kilolitna River winds through the northern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as a primary drainage point for the high ridges that define the terrain. The map reveals a rugged topography marked by steep elevation changes, particularly in the western sections where unnamed peaks reach significant heights. Waterways like Torment Cr and Kishilitna Cr provide a look at the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the region long before modern surveying. This 2016 record from the U.S. Geological Survey captures a wilderness defined by its absence of road infrastructure, emphasizing the isolation of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Researchers can trace the complex contour lines to understand the physical barriers that dictate movement through this subarctic environment.
