2016 Map of Wiseman A-5 NW

About this map

The Malamute Fork is the primary waterway in this 2016 survey of the Alaskan interior, showing the headwaters and drainage patterns of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and deep valleys, the map details the confluence of various tributaries such as Midas Cr and Jones Cr. These drainage paths provide an essential look at the physical geography before it joins larger systems downstream. The intricate contour work illustrates the steep ridges and basins that separate Bedrock Cr from neighboring watersheds within the boundaries of t28n r22w and t27n r22w. This topographic study is focused entirely on the natural hydrography and terrain of the Brooks Range foothills, showing a region where names are tied almost exclusively to the shifting waters of the creek beds.
