About this map

The Hogatza River winds through the center of this Yukon-Koyukuk landscape, representing a remote portion of the Alaskan interior as it was documented in the early 1970s. This survey illustrates a complex hydrological network where the river meets numerous tributaries, including Klihtentotzna Creek and Gukhzna Creek. The terrain is defined by the Kokhila Hills to the west, rising above a lowland basin filled with seasonal wetlands and small water bodies.

Water dominates the southern half of the map, where Lake Kyikhgyit and the Twin Lakes sit near the confluence of Taltlinkho Creek. Further south, the Koskatantna Creek and Birch Creek meander through a dense concentration of small ponds and marshes. This map reflects the wilderness state of the region shortly after the passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, showing a landscape devoid of roads or permanent settlements.
