2016 Map of Hughes A-4 NE

About this map

Lake Tunikhanten and Lake Tokhaklanten dominate the interior of this remote Interior Alaska landscape, situated within the vast Yukon-Koyukuk region. The map illustrates a classic subarctic terrain of wetlands and low-lying hills, characterized by the prominent Hokdoloni Hills rising in the northeast. The hydrological network is defined by the winding course of Hughes Creek at the southern edge, which drains the surrounding basin. This topographic study reveals a landscape largely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the precise natural elevations and water bodies that define the traditional territory near the Koyukuk River. The preservation of indigenous place names like Tokhaklanten offers critical grounding for researchers studying the geographic history and land use patterns of the Koyukuk valley.
