1970 Map of Bettles A-1

About this map

Fort Hamlin Hills dominate the eastern landscape of this remote interior Alaska quadrant, providing a stark topographical backdrop to the winding Ray River in the south. The terrain is largely defined by its isolation, marked by a solitary Cabin and the presence of a Winter Trail that cuts across the northern and southern sectors. This trail system indicates a landscape navigated by seasonal travel rather than permanent infrastructure, typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the early 1970s. The river's serpentine path through the lowlands contrasts with the elevated ridges of the hills, illustrating a wilderness environment where movement was dictated by water and seasonal paths.
