1955 Map of De Long Mountains D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Chukchi Sea coastline defines the northern boundary of this 1955 survey, where the terrestrial landscape transitions into a series of drainages and coastal hills. A notable Winter Trail parallels the shore, providing a vital transportation link across the Arctic tundra. Moving inland, the terrain is shaped by the Punuk Hills and the prominent Noonuklook Mountain, which rises above the surrounding plains. The drainage network is dense, featuring the meandering Pitmegea River in the south and numerous northward-flowing streams such as Akulik Creek and Iktileruk Creek. This map, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, documents a remote environment where movement was dictated by the seasons and the paths of coastal trails. The absence of permanent settlements on this sheet highlights the seasonal and transit-oriented nature of human activity in the region during the mid-twentieth century.
