About this map

Mettenpherg Creek winds through this interior Alaskan wilderness, cutting through the varied terrain of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, with ridges reaching over 4,000 feet. These steep slopes feed into the drainage systems of Mettenpherg Cr and Jones Cr, creating a complex network of seasonal and permanent watercourses. The lack of named settlements or roads reflects the isolation of this territory, where the primary human footprint is found in the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t28n r23w and t27n r24w. This 2016 survey illustrates the undeveloped character of the Brooks Range foothills, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology and topography before any significant modern encroachment.
