1954 Map of Baird Inlet B-4

About this map

Dall Lake dominates this mid-century survey of the Alaskan interior, appearing as a massive water body amidst an intricate, waterlogged landscape. Located in the Baird Inlet region, the terrain is characterized by thousands of small, unnamed ponds and wetlands that create a complex mosaic of land and water. The Chukwugwahlik River winds through the northern portion of the sheet, providing one of the few named navigational corridors in an area otherwise devoid of roads or trails. Human presence is remarkably sparse, centered on the Kowilikulik (Site) and a secondary label for Dall Lake. This map represents the region as documented through aerial photography in the early 1950s, capturing a remote wilderness before significant modern infrastructure reached these wetlands.
