About this map

Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a complex aquatic landscape in this interior Alaskan wilderness as it was documented in the late 1970s and 1990. The Hodzana River snakes through the low-lying Yukon Flats, creating a maze of oxbows and sloughs including the distinctive passage at The Narrows. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Nelson Mountain and Middle, contrasting with the saturated floodplains below.

Evidence of human presence is sparse but concentrated near the water, with Mudbank Cabin and The Mudbank situated along the riverbanks. These isolated locations, along with other unnamed cabins, provide specific points of interest for researchers tracking historical use of the river systems. The map also delineates the hydrologic convergence of The Forks, where the East Fork and Pitka Fork join, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this subarctic environment.
