1954 Map of Melozitna D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Koyukuk River and its intricate network of waterways dominate this interior Alaska landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The presence of the Fishing Camp (2 Miles) and several scattered Cabins along the riverbanks highlights the importance of seasonal subsistence and travel along the water. The intricate drainage patterns of Huggins Slough and Mathew Slough illustrate the dynamic nature of the floodplain, where land and water merge into extensive wetlands. Further inland, Pocahontas Hot Springs and Pocahontas Creek mark a geologically distinct area, while surveying markers such as Canoe E Base and Dian provide the primary fixed points in an otherwise untamed wilderness. The map captures a moment before significant development, when the Indian River and its tributaries were the primary landmarks for navigators of the northern interior.
