1955 Map of Baird Mountains B-3

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park encompasses a significant portion of this wilderness landscape, where the eastern slopes of the Kallarichuk Hills meet a network of high-latitude waterways. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map documents a terrain defined entirely by its drainage systems, featuring the Nikok River and Kitlik River flowing through the valley. The presence of Gold Run Creek and Klery Creek in the southwest suggests a landscape shaped by historical prospecting interests typical of the region's mineral history. Small tributaries such as Timber Creek and Spruce Creek feed into the larger river systems, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Northwest Arctic before modern administrative revisions. This topographic study focuses on the natural elevation and watercourses that dictated travel and survival in this remote Alaskan borough.
