1955 Map of Hughes A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Sushgitit Hills dominate the southern landscape of this interior Alaska territory, where the complex drainage patterns of the Mentanontli River and its tributaries define the region. In this mid-century environment, water is the primary architect of the land, visible through the meandering paths of Slathtouka Creek and Notoniono Creek. A notable geological marker, a Pingo, appears near the center of the sheet, indicating the presence of permafrost and the unique subarctic conditions of the Yukon-Koyukuk area. The map includes the Kateel River Meridian boundary, a critical reference point for surveying this portion of the Alaskan wilderness. Human presence is sparse, represented primarily by the Vabm 1987 Shelter and the Indian River corridor, reflecting a period when this vast interior remained largely untouched by permanent settlements or road infrastructure.
