1955 Map of Baird Mountains A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Kiana Hills dominate the central topography of this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, rising toward the prominent Deviation Peak. Mapped by the Army Map Service using 1955 aerial photography, the terrain reveals a complex network of waterways typical of the region's drainage patterns. The Squirrel River and its North Fork define the northern and eastern reaches, while Nookati Creek and Amaouk Creek drain the western slopes. This survey provides a precise look at the land before any established road network reached this part of the Northwest Arctic, with the Bureau of Land Management predetermining land lines for future administrative use. The absence of trails or settlements at this time underscores the region's character as a roadless expanse of hills and river valleys.
