2015 Map of Unalakleet D-3 NW

About this map

The Iditarod Trail To Kaltag cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a historic route of travel through the Alaska wilderness. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Unalakleet River and its junction with the Chiroskey River, where the water creates complex oxbows and marshy lowlands. To the east, the Alukuk Hills rise above the river valley, providing a contrast to the riparian flats near Tea Cr. In the northern uplands, the presence of Musk Ox Hill Rd indicates modern access into the higher elevations. This map captures a region where traditional long-distance trails and natural waterways remain the primary features of the land, illustrating the persistent importance of the river systems for navigation and the legacy of the Iditarod route.
