1956 Map of Baird Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Baird Mountains and Maiyumerak Mountains dominate this 1950s study of northwestern Alaska. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of the Noatak River and Kobuk River, including the dramatic Grand Noatak Canyon and Noatah Canyon. This era represents a significant period of topographical recording, capturing the region just as large portions were being designated under the Noatak National Preserve and Kobuk Valley National Park. Small human outposts like Kiana and Klery Creek are noted alongside the Squirrel River Landing Strip, marking the essential role of bush aviation and river travel in this subarctic interior. The map also traces intricate water bodies such as Lake Mapsa, Lake Narvakrak, and Lake Tulugak, which serve as vital landmarks across the tundra and mountain passes.
