1956 Map of Baird Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Baird Mountains and Maiyumerak Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the Northwest Arctic, revealing a complex drainage system between the Noatak River and the Squirrel River. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring landmarks like Windy Bluff and the Noatak Canyon, alongside high points such as Nakolik Mtn and Kanaktok Mountain. This era of mapping shows the region's reliance on seasonal travel, evidenced by the Winter Trail cutting through the southern portion of the sheet near the Kiana Hills. Numerous water bodies, including Lake Kangilipak and the Grand Canyon River, are documented in detail, providing a snapshot of the hydrological network before significant modern changes. The intricate network of creeks like Aklumayuak Creek and Kungukrak Creek illustrates the remote and pristine nature of this Alaskan interior during the 1950s.
