1986 Map of Hughes C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Alatna River dominates the northern landscape of this interior Alaska territory, where its tight, serpentine oxbows and abandoned channels reveal a shifting fluvial environment. This 1986 survey, based on photography from the early 1970s, captures a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent settlements. Significant tributaries like Sinyalak Creek and Siruk Creek feed into the main river system from the north and west, while the southern terrain is defined by the drainage of Henry Creek. This map is a primary reference for the Kateel River Meridian boundary, which marks the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The lack of infrastructure highlights the natural hydrology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before contemporary development, preserving the original courses of these waterways as they were recorded during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
