1955 Map of Hughes A-1

About this map

The Sushgitit Hills dominate the southern landscape of this interior Alaska region, marking a significant upland area where elevations reach toward the VABM 1987 Shelter landmark. This 1955 survey captures an intricate drainage system defined by the Mentanontli River and the Hovadazithetno River, which meander through extensive wetlands. The presence of a Pingo near the center of the quadrangle serves as a distinct indicator of permafrost activity in the Notoniono Creek valley. These features, along with the Slathlouka Creek and the southern Indian River, illustrate a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and subarctic geomorphology before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Kateel River Meridian.
