1955 Map of Baird Mountains C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Eli River and the Agashashok River wind through this remote arctic wilderness, carving deep drainages into the northern landscape. This 1955 survey, which underwent minor revisions in 1984, documents the vast, roadless territory long before the establishment of modern boundaries. The map reflects a landscape defined by natural waterways and dramatic elevation changes, eventually protected under the Noatak National Preserve. Mapped primarily through photogrammetric methods from aerial photography taken in the mid-1950s, the terrain remains unmarred by permanent settlements or industrial infrastructure. It serves as a primary record of the hydrological patterns and topographic contours of the Baird Mountains region during the mid-20th century, providing an essential look at the area's geography before the implementation of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
