1954 Map of Melozitna D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Koyukuk River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex system of waterways and islands. The river’s path is marked by substantial features like Huggins Island and the Fortymile Islands, while the Mathews Slough and Florence River indicate the shifting alluvial nature of this drainage basin. To the north and west, the terrain rises sharply into the Isahultila Mountains and Deniktaw Ridge, anchored by the high point of Sun Mountain. Human presence in this subarctic wilderness is sparse, represented by isolated landmarks like the Twentyfive Mile Cabin along the riverbank and Hot Springs Creek. Numerous tributaries, including Glacier Creek and Kitalitna Creek, drain the mountain slopes toward the marshy lowlands, illustrating a classic Interior Alaska watershed before modern development.
