1954 Map of Baird Inlet D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Nunavakpak Lake dominates the eastern edge of this landscape in the Baird Inlet region. The terrain is a complex mosaic of countless unnamed water bodies and wetlands, illustrating the labyrinthine hydrology typical of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photographs from 1952, the topography is characterized by low-lying tundra and intricate shorelines. The small settlement of Nanvarnarluk is the primary named human location on the sheet, providing a rare point of reference for researchers and genealogists tracing the sparse human presence in this part of the Alaskan wilderness during the mid-1950s. Surveyed before modern development, these land lines represent predetermined but largely unmarked locations established by the Bureau of Land Management.
