1970 Map of Beaver C-5

About this map

Hodzana River and its tributary Mud Fork dominate this 1970 landscape, winding through a wilderness region of the Yukon-Koyukuk. The geography here is defined by riverine movement and high-latitude terrain, where the water systems provided the primary corridors for travel and subsistence. A small Landing Strip and Caribou Bar on the banks of the Hodzana represent the minimal human footprint at the time of the survey. The mapping reveals a sparse network of natural features rather than settled towns, reflecting the remote interior character of Alaska before modern expansion. This survey was photogrammetrically compiled from aerial photographs, capturing the exact state of the riverbanks and sandbars during the 1970 season.
