2017 Map of Unalakleet A-2 NE

About this map

The Yukon River flows prominently through this western Alaskan interior, defining the western edge of the landscape near Simon Point. Much of the territory on this map is encompassed by the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge, a region characterized by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal waterways. The drainage patterns of Saint Joe Creek and Simon Creek reveal the subtle elevation changes of the river basin, where meandering channels and oxbows dominate the terrain. This 2017 survey reflects the remote and largely unpopulated character of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, showing a landscape shaped more by natural hydrology than by permanent human infrastructure or settlement. The map provides an essential baseline for understanding the vast riparian corridors that support local subsistence and biodiversity in the Alaskan interior.
