2016 Map of Hughes C-1 NW

About this map

The Alatna River meanders through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands. This 2016 survey documents the intricate fluvial morphology of the river valley, where the water's path creates a high-density wetland environment characteristic of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. To the south and west, the terrain rises away from the floodplain as mapped by the course of Siruk Creek. Further south, the map identifies the headwaters and drainage of Henry Cr. The landscape is largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grids, including t15n r25e and t16n r26e, which mark this vast, unpopulated wilderness before it reaches more established outposts. The lack of named roads or structures underscores the area's isolation, serving as a primary record of the natural hydrography and elevation in this part of the Brooks Range foothills.
