1954 Map of Melozitna C-6

About this map

The Dulbi Flats dominate this interior landscape, revealing a complex network of wetlands and meandering waterways in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the mid-1950s, the Nayuka River and Dulbi River defined the drainage patterns of this territory, where the rivers intersect amidst numerous unnamed ponds and sloughs. Evidence of human presence is remarkably sparse, limited to a single Cabin located north of Boatmakers Creek, suggesting a landscape primarily utilized for seasonal trapping or subsistence. Large bodies of water like Hahanudan Lake and Hadokhten Lake stand out as primary landmarks in the northeast. The presence of Dulbi Slough and various smaller drainages like Doba Creek illustrate the hydrologic character of the basin before any significant modern alterations or infrastructure reached this part of the Alaskan wilderness.
