1985 Map of Shungnak B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Zane Hills dominate the center of this 1985 survey, marking a rugged high-ground transition where the Continental Divide winds through the interior Alaskan landscape. To the north, the terrain drops into the extensive wetlands of the Pah River Flats, a stark contrast to the sharp elevations of the hills themselves. The western edge of the map identifies a portion of the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge, indicating the protected status of these remote drainage basins. Down in the southwestern corner, Wheeler Creek cuts through the topography, serving as a primary watercourse for the area. This map reflects a landscape defined entirely by its natural hydrology and geography, with the Zane Pass providing a named navigational point through the northern ridges. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the late twentieth century.
