1990 Map of Baird Mountains D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Kobuk Valley National Park and the southern reaches of the Noatak National Preserve meet in this remote Arctic wilderness, where the landscape is defined by the high divides of the Baird Mountains. The terrain transition is marked by the Salmon River, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle, and the intricate drainage systems of Aklumayuak Creek and Kanaktok Creek to the north and west. Rising prominently above these waterways is Kanaktok Mountain, a significant landmark in a region characterized by its lack of road infrastructure and permanent settlements. This 1990 edition, compiled from 1980 aerial photography, documents the untouched character of the Noatak Wilderness, providing an important baseline for the ecological and topographic state of these protected interior Alaska lands.
