1951 Map of Hughes
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The Arctic Circle cuts through the center of this remote landscape, where the Koyukuk River and Kobuk River systems dominate the geography. In this mid-century reconnaissance, the region is defined by isolation and seasonal transit, visible in the network of winter trails and the scattered presence of cabins along the riverbanks. The importance of bush aviation and river transport is evident at the Hughes Landing Area and Hog River Landing Area, which served as the primary connection points for these interior settlements.
