1955 Map of Baird Mountains D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Noatak River dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, winding through a landscape of expansive riverbeds and arctic lakes. In this remote territory, the Kugurukok River joins the Noatak from the north, marking a significant confluence just west of Lake Narvakrak. The terrain is defined by the massive uplift of the Baird Mountains and the Maiyumerak Mountains, which create a complex system of drainages including Kungiakrok Creek and Ahaliknak Creek. A notable geological feature is the Sekuiak Canyon, where the Noatak cuts through the high ground beneath a prominent Bluff. This map represents the area before any modern infrastructure was established, showing the natural state of water bodies like Lake Tulugak and Lake Mapsa in a period of early aerial photogrammetric mapping.
