About this map

The Malamute Fork Alatna River snakes through the northern reaches of this Brooks Range landscape, defining the local drainage pattern long before reaching its confluence with the main stem of the Alatna. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of the Alatna Hills, where steep contours rise sharply from the river valley. The presence of Roosevelt Cr feeding into the primary waterway suggests the complex hydrological network that sustains this subarctic environment. Largely undeveloped, the area is defined by its topographic relief and the wandering paths of its glacial-fed streams, offering a precise record of the landforms within the Yukon-Koyukuk region at the start of the twenty-first century.
