USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Hughes and the adjacent Hughes Landing Area serve as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the Koyukuk and Kobuk river systems. The landscape is defined by vast drainage basins and mountain ranges, with the Arctic Circle and the Continental Divide both bisecting the territory. The presence of several cabins and specialized landing points like Hog Landing and the Elevenmile Landing Area suggests a reliance on seasonal river transport and small-craft aviation for movement between the scattered settlements.
