2016 Map of Hughes C-5 SW

About this map

The Pah River winds through this interior Alaskan wilderness, following a meandering path through the lowlands south of the primary topographic ridges. The landscape is defined by the significant boundary of the Northwest Arctic Borough Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, which bisects the map horizontally. In the northern section, prominent highlands rise toward the upper corners, drained by seasonal watercourses like Asiksak Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates the vast, undeveloped character of the region, where the primary organizational structures are the Public Land Survey System grids, including t14n r16e and t13n r17e. The map serves as a detailed record of the hydrography and elevation in an area where human infrastructure is largely absent, focusing instead on the natural drainage patterns that flow toward the larger river systems.
