1986 Map of Hughes B-6

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this Northwest Arctic landscape, separating the vast marshlands of the Pah River Flats from the elevated peaks of the Zane Hills. This portion of Alaska, documented in the mid-1980s, reveals a complex network of waterways including the Pah River, which meanders across the northern half of the sheet, and the Hogatza River winding through the southeastern corner. A significant point of local geographical history is noted at the Totzitigi Portage (Kobuk Portage), a traditional travel route across the divide. The terrain transitions from the low-lying basins fed by Asiksat Creek and Holly Creek to the southern ridges where Comeback Creek, Holiday Creek, and Comstock Creek originate. The map provides a clear picture of the natural drainage patterns in a region defined entirely by its wilderness features rather than human settlement.
