2015 Map of Unalakleet C-2 SE

About this map

The Yukon River dominates the eastern boundary of this Alaskan landscape, defining the edge of a region marked by extensive elevation changes and remote riverine features. This 2015 survey illustrates the path of the river as it flows past Eagle Island, a prominent landform situated within the channel that would have been a critical waypoint for river navigation and local subsistence activities. The terrain rises sharply to the west of the riverbank, where the map details a series of high ridges and drainage patterns that characterize the interior wilderness. The absence of roads or established settlements on this sheet highlights the primary role of the river as the historical and contemporary corridor for movement through this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
