1990 Map of Baird Mountains C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Tutuksuk River flows across this remote stretch of the Arctic, marking a significant drainage between the high peaks of the Kobuk Valley National Park and the expansive Noatak National Preserve Wilderness. This 1990 provisional survey, based on aerial photography from the late 1970s, documents a landscape largely devoid of human infrastructure, defined instead by the towering presence of Mount Angayukaqtaq and the subtle course of Nantelik Creek. The map reflects a period of heightened federal preservation in the Northwest Arctic Borough following the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. It serves as a stark topographic record of the transition between protected parklands and wilderness areas, where elevation contours and watercourses remain the only landmarks in a region with no established roads or trails.
