1955 Map of Baird Mountains D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Noatak River dominates this Arctic landscape, carving a wide valley through the heart of what is now the Noatak National Preserve. This 1955 survey, later updated to reflect the boundaries established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, documents a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent settlements, where topographical surveying was conducted via aerial photogrammetry. The map identifies key landforms like Isaakluvik and geodetic markers such as Noatak East Base, which served as critical points for mapping this northern frontier.
