About this map

Hog Landing sits along the southern edge of this interior landscape, marking a small human footprint where the Koyukuk River and Hogatzakhatak Creek meet. This 1980s survey illustrates a region defined by the expansive Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge, where the braided channel of the Hogatza River snakes through low-lying wetlands and complex river bends.

To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Babantaltlin Hills and reaches a peak at Round Mountain. Transportation in this subarctic environment is evidenced by a Sled Trail and the passage through Sixmile Pass, highlighting how seasonal routes and river corridors dictated movement through the Yukon-Koyukuk region long before modern road networks. Other drainage systems like Caribou Creek and Mc Lanes Creek further define the intricate watershed of this northern wilderness.
