1955 Map of Baird Mountains C-6

About this map

The Eli River flows through the northern reaches of this Alaskan wilderness, marking a landscape of significant relief and complex drainage. Mapped by the Army Map Service in the mid-1950s using photogrammetric methods, this quadrangle documents a remote terrain defined by its watercourses rather than human infrastructure. In the southern half, the Agashashok River winds through the topography, while Ahaliknak Creek cuts through the northwest corner. The map reveals the intricate contouring of the Baird Mountains during an era of aerial survey and reconnaissance, providing a record of the natural geography before modern environmental shifts or land-use changes.
