1955 Map of Hughes A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Indian Mountain dominates the interior of this mid-century survey, its high ridges and steep drainages defining the layout of the Koyukuk region. In the valley floor, the presence of a Placer Mine near a dedicated Airstrip indicates the specialized nature of late-territorial mining operations where remote accessibility was paramount. This landscape is a network of water and seasonal transport, evidenced by the Sled Trail winding through the western hills and numerous water bodies such as Pocahontas Creek and Fish Creek. Surveyed just before statehood, the map documents the established infrastructure of the era, from the surveying marker at VABM 2983 Menta to the creek systems including Atla Creek, Raven Creek, and Black Creek that carved the surrounding terrain.
