1956 Map of Hughes
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Hughes and its nearby riverside settlements anchor this mid-century survey of the Koyukuk and Kobuk river basins. The landscape is defined by the crossing of the Arctic Circle and the winding path of the Continental Divide, which separates the northern drainage of the Kobuk River from the southern reaches of the Indian River. Human presence is concentrated at aviation and river transport nodes, including Hughes Landing Area and Elevenmile Landing Area, reflecting a period when remote access relied heavily on small aircraft and seasonal waterways.
