We report on differential resistance measurements of arrays of multiple Josephson junctions as a function of out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic field. The junction array is made of 80 400 nm wide niobium stripes in 600 nm distance in good metallic contact with the two-dimensional electron gas in an InAs quantum well. The differential resistance shows oscillations in the out-of-plane magnetic field with an oscillation period determined by the area of a single junction. A trapezoidal modulation of the stripe width results in additional minima in the resistance at higher fields, indicative of a two-dimensional network of Josephson junctions. The supercurrent at 0.4 K is suppressed down to 10% by a parallel magnetic field on a scale of 20 mT, while a small fraction of the supercurrent survives up to 300 mT.
