1990 Map of Baird Mountains D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Kobuk Valley and its surrounding wilderness areas dominate this Arctic landscape, documented through aerial photography in the early 1980s. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the southern expanse of the Noatak National Preserve and the Noatak Wilderness meet the northern reaches of the Kobuk Valley National Park. This territory is defined by its extensive drainage systems, most notably the winding Salmon River and high-latitude water bodies like Lake Kangilipak. Smaller tributaries such as Aklumayuak Creek and Nanielik Creek cut through the terrain, indicating a complex watershed that has remained largely free of permanent human infrastructure or road networks. The lack of trails or man-made structures emphasize the remote, preserved nature of this Northwest Arctic Borough landscape during the late twentieth century.
