Landscape Genetics Map for Salmon in
Norton Sound, Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers
US Fish and Wildlife Service Conservation Genetics Laboratory, Anchorage Alaska
Title: Drainages
Abstract: Made by dissolving the preliminary 5th-level watershed delineations available here: http://agdcftp.wr.usgs.gov/pub/projects/AWSHED/ for the Kusko and Norton Sound drainages. Only the lower Yukon followed this method where the drainage borders the other two drainages. For the remainder of the Yukon, the international drainage boundary was used. This Yukon drainage boundary is available here: http://agdc.usgs.gov/data/usgs/water/yukon.html
Purpose: To provide a cartographic reference for the approximate boundaries of the Yukon River, Kuskokwim River, and Norton Sound drainages.
