2014 Map of Baird Mountains A-6 NE

About this map

The northern slopes of the Baird Mountains come into focus in this topographic study, which centers on the intersection of several key public land survey townships. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the surveying boundaries of T21n R14w, T21n R13w, T20n R14w, and T20n R13w meet amidst high elevation contours. This area of the Northwest Arctic Borough is largely devoid of named human settlements, instead highlighting the raw topography of the Alaskan interior as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey using modern imagery and elevation datasets. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns and ridge lines that dictate travel and survival in this high-latitude environment.
