About this map

The Hodzana River snakes through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the northern and eastern reaches of the area with its intricate, shifting meanders. This 2017 survey reveals a complex hydrological environment where The Slough and Long Lake sit within the river's broad floodplain, illustrating how the water has carved and recarved the valley over time.

Rising sharply from the marshy lowlands, Hermit Ridge provides a significant topographic contrast, anchoring the south-central portion of the map. To the west, the John Barleycorn Lakes and small tributaries like Luke Cr and Owl Cr drain into the primary river system. The map is a detailed study of a remote subarctic wilderness, where the interaction between the low-lying wetlands of the Yukon-Koyukuk region and more stable upland features like the ridge is clearly visible.
