2016 Map of Hughes B-3 SE

About this map

Hatdolita Hills dominate the central landscape of this interior Alaska quadrangle, their steep elevations rising above the surrounding wetlands and drainage systems. To the southeast, the broad Koyukuk River winds through the valley floor, creating a dynamic riparian environment that includes Waite Island. The interior drainage is primarily defined by Hughes Cr, which meanders across the northwest sections. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of high-elevation terrain and low-lying river systems in the Yukon-Koyukuk region, showing how the topography directs the flow of smaller tributaries toward the major river artery. The map provides a clear look at the land's natural contours before any significant human development or industrial footprint altered the corridor.
