2016 Map of Wiseman B-5 SW

About this map

Malamute Fork flows through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the drainage patterns of a region marked by significant elevation changes and deep valleys. The intricate contour work of the U.S. Geological Survey details the high ridges and steep slopes that characterize the Brooks Range foothills. Waterways such as Sixtymile Cr in the northern sections and Midas Cr in the southeast provide the primary geographic structure for this wilderness area. The map illustrates a strictly natural environment, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the isolation of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2016 survey is an essential reference for understanding the hydrological network and topography of the remote drainage systems within the Koyukuk River watershed.
