2016 Map of Hughes B-3 NW

About this map

The Hogatza River dominates this interior landscape of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, winding through a complex series of oxbows and river meanders. The topography captured in this 2016 survey reveals the dramatic relief of the surrounding hills, which rise sharply from the river valley into the high elevations of the t13n r20e and t13n r21e townships. This remote section of Alaska is characterized by a nearly total absence of man-made infrastructure, showing instead the raw geological and hydrological patterns of the northern wilderness. The map serves as a vital record of the river's path and the land's natural contours before further environmental shifts alter the drainage patterns of this subarctic environment.
