2019 Map of Taylor Mountains D-5 SE

About this map

Nushagak Hills define the southern landscape of this 2019 survey, where the terrain rises from the river drainages into a series of prominent ridgelines. The northern portion of the map is shaped by the wandering courses of Whitewater Cr and Kicnik Cr, which flow through the lower elevations before entering the more complex topography to the south. This area, located in the Dillingham Census Area of Alaska, remains largely unpopulated, with no road systems or structures indicated. Instead, the map provides a precise look at the natural drainage patterns and elevation contours that have long dictated movement through this part of the interior. The lack of human development emphasizes the role of the local hydrology in defining the region's character, as these water bodies serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise wilderness-dominated territory.
