1956 Map of Melozitna

About this map

The Koyukuk River and Yukon River dominate this interior landscape, defining a region of seasonal camps and vast wetlands. Settled life in this mid-century period is largely represented by river-access points and remote outposts, including Twelvemile Fishing Camp and Birches Native Fishing Camp. Geothermal activity is a notable characteristic of the terrain, with several thermal features such as Pocahontas Hot Springs and Melozitna Springs appearing near the mountain foothills. The map provides a clear look at the early infrastructure of the Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge, where geographic landmarks like Hochandochtla Mountain and the Takakhdona Hills rise above the meandering sloughs. Farther south, the Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge borders the Yukon, where various islands such as Cronin Island and Weir Island shift with the river's flow.
