1955 Map of Baird Mountains A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Hotham Inlet dominates the southern portion of this mid-century survey, where the waters of the Northwest Arctic meet the coastal tundra. The landscape transitions from the tidal reaches of the inlet into a series of steep, unnamed ridges and peaks characteristic of the Baird Mountains range. Drainage for the western slopes is provided by Shiliak Creek, which carves a narrow valley through the high ground before descending toward the coast. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from the mid-1950s, this sheet documents a wilderness area defined by its lack of established roads or permanent settlements. The topographic detail reveals the intricate hydrology of the region, where numerous small, unnamed streams and ponds dot the lowland flats between the mountains and the sea.
