1955 Map of Baird Mountains D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Noatak River dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, winding through a complex network of glacial valleys and drainage systems. This landscape is defined by its drainages, including the Akikukchiak Creek and the meandering Maiyumerak Creek, which reveal the hydrological patterns of the Baird Mountains before modern climate shifts. High ground is anchored by the prominent Tututalak Mtn in the south, while further west, Kivivik Creek and Okiotak Creek cut through the terrain. The map's layout, derived from 1955 aerial photography, documents a wilderness area where land lines remained unsurveyed and unmarked at the time of publication, preserving a record of the remote interior's physical geography in the years prior to statehood development.
