Landscape Genetics Map for Salmon in
Norton Sound, Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers

US Fish and Wildlife Service Conservation Genetics Laboratory, Anchorage Alaska
Title: Subbasins
Abstract: Created by Tyler G for cartographic use. Made by dissolving the prelimnary 5th-level watershed delineations availabe 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 4th-level subbasins within the Yukon River, Kuskokwim River, and Norton Sound drainages.
