1955 Map of Baird Mountains C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Agashashok River and the Eli River dominate this 1955 topographic study of the Baird Mountains, revealing a drainage system defined by deep valleys and high mountain ridges. This interior region, mapped via aerial photography by the Army Map Service, contains no established roads or trails, preserving a snapshot of the Northwest Arctic before modern encroachment. The course of the Akikukchiak Creek and the N Fk Squirrel River illustrate the complex watershed of the Kateel River Meridian. Predetermined land lines established by the Bureau of Land Management indicate the early stages of formalizing this wilderness, even while much of the terrain remained unsurveyed and unmarked on the ground.
