USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Arctic Circle crosses through this interior landscape, a region defined by the expansive Kanuti Flats and the meandering path of the Koyukuk River. Significant for aviation and logistics in the bush, the map details the river-based settlement of Bettles and its proximity to Evansville, alongside vital infrastructure like the Prospect Creek Landing Strip. The presence of Oscars Cabin, Black Jack Cabin, and Henshaw Cabin suggests the legacy of remote trapping and prospecting life in the mid-20th century.
