1956 Map of Melozitna

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Koyukuk River and Melozitna River dominate this interior landscape, where mid-century life followed the seasonal flow of water and terrain. The map records a series of essential bush outposts and camps, from Twelvemile Fishing Camp and Birches Native Fishing Camp to the isolated Twentyfive Mile Cabin. Several geothermal features, including Melozitna Hot Springs, Pocahontas Hot Springs, and Little Melozitna Hot Springs, provide notable landmarks in the Isahultila Mountains and surrounding hills. These sites, often located near river bends or sloughs like Pocahontas Slough, were critical nodes for navigation and survival before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Evidence of changing land use is visible at the Reindeer Camp (Aband) near Hot Springs Creek, marking a transition from historical herding practices to a more transient pattern of cabins and fishing sites.
