This massive census area encompasses Interior Alaska's boreal forest along the Yukon and Koyukuk rivers, with rolling hills, extensive wetlands, and scattered mountain ranges. The region features some of Alaska's most continuous permafrost and extreme temperature variations.
Agricultural development is concentrated in small clearings along river valleys where permafrost is less continuous and drainage is better. Small-scale vegetable production and greenhouse operations serve local communities, while some areas support limited hay production for local livestock.
