1986 Map of Hughes B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Koyukuk River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, winding through a corridor of silt and water that includes Honeymoon Slough and Curve Slough. This 1980s-era topographical survey, compiled from early 1970s aerial photography, reveals a wilderness largely defined by its drainage patterns and prominent summits. To the north, the massive Niitltoktalogi Mountain stands as a primary landmark, while the southwestern portion of the sheet is marked by the distinct elevation of Red Mountain. The river's influence on the local geography is evident in the presence of Waite Island and Dog Island, which break the main channel. Smaller tributaries like Hughes Creek and Discovery Creek feed the larger system, cutting through the varied elevations of Shannon Hill and Mount George. This map captures the region's hydrography and terrain before significant modern changes, providing a clear record of the river's path and its relationship to the surrounding peaks.
