1955 Map of Baird Mountains A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Kobuk River dominates the lower half of this landscape, its wide channel and braided bars flanked by a solitary Cabin situated on the western bank. This 1955 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by water and altitude, where the northern wetlands of the Salmon River contrast with the high benchmarks of VABM Kiana and VABM Goldie to the west. The river systems here are intricate; smaller tributaries like Trinity Creek and Etaroniluk Creek feed into the main Kobuk artery. These features indicate a seasonal environment where transportation and habitation likely relied on the seasonal rhythm of the river, with Kallarichuk River and Tutiksuk Creek providing further navigational routes through the interior. The mapping reflects the territory's character just before the mid-1960s revisions, preserving the sparse footprint of human presence in the Arctic during the mid-century.
