1985 Map of Shungnak A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Purcell Mountains dominate the upper half of this mid-1980s survey, showing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes before descending into the complex wetlands of the Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge. This transition from high peaks to the water-saturated lowlands highlights the isolated nature of the Alaskan interior, where human infrastructure is minimal and often functional rather than permanent. A Tractor Trail provides a rare terrestrial route through the terrain, winding past a lonely Cabin near the mountains' southern edge. Below the slopes, Hawk Creek meanders through a dense network of small lakes and ponds, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of this subarctic wilderness during the late twentieth century.
