1956 Map of Baird Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Noatak River carves a dramatic path through the northern reaches of this mid-century Alaskan survey, defining a landscape dominated by the Baird Mountains and Maiyumerak Mountains. The intricate drainage patterns of the Squirrel River and Salmon River reveal the geological complexity of the Kiana Hills and Isacheluich Mountains. The map highlights remote hydrological features such as Lake Narvakrak and Lake Kangilipak, while the Grand Canyon of the Noatak signifies a major geographical landmark. In the southern portion, the confluence of numerous smaller tributaries like Klery Creek and Bear Creek suggests the seasonal flow patterns that shaped local travel and subsistence. This 1950s aerial photography captures the region's wilderness character before the era of modern development, providing a record of named peaks like Deviation Peak and Nakolik Mtn in their isolated state.
