1956 Map of Baird Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Noatak River dominates this northern Alaskan interior, carving through the massive Baird Mountains and into the dramatic Grand Canyon. This mid-century survey captures a complex drainage system where the Squirrel River and its numerous tributaries, including Klery Creek and Bear Creek, flow through the southern foothills. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, from the Isacheluich Mountains in the north to the Kallichuk Hills and Ikana Hills near the southern coast. Notable peaks such as Deviation Peak and Nakolik Mtn serve as significant landmarks within the trackless terrain. The presence of several distinct canyons, including Noatak Canyon, highlights the significant fluvial erosion that has shaped this region over millennia, while the clustering of lakes like Lake Kangilipak and Lake Tulugak marks the glacial history of the Brooks Range periphery.
