1955 Map of Hughes A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Sushgitit Hills dominate the southern landscape of this interior Alaska territory, where 1950s aerial photogrammetry captured a complex network of waterways and glacial landforms. The Mentanontli River flows through the northeast, fed by drainage systems including Hogedazzitna Creek and Notoniono Creek. In the lower elevations, the map records a Pingo, a distinctive permafrost feature characteristic of the region's arctic geology. Settlement is nearly non-existent in this quadrangle, save for the VABM 1987 Shelter, reflecting the isolation of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the mid-century. Further water features include Githgidunka Creek and the headwaters of the Indian River, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that defined this territory before modern development.
