1955 Map of Baird Mountains B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Squirrel River dominates the drainage of this remote Arctic interior landscape, flowing through a series of braided channels and valleys. Captured during a 1955 survey by the Army Map Service, the terrain illustrates the complex hydrological patterns of the western Baird Mountains before modern development. The North Fork Squirrel River joins the main stem amidst a network of gravel bars and shifting waterways, reflecting a wilderness state defined by natural forces rather than human infrastructure. Because these land lines represent unsurveyed and unmarked locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, the map serves as a primary record of the physical topography and water systems as they existed in the mid-twentieth century, free of established roads or trails.
