1950 Map of Kotzebue B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The coastal wetlands and tundra of Northwest Arctic, Alaska, define this mid-century survey, centered on the eastern reach of Kotzebue Sound. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of unnamed lakes and lagoons that separate the marine environment from the interior. A notable human element in this remote terrain is the Winter Trail (Approximate), which cuts westward across the marshland toward the coast, illustrating the seasonal transportation methods required in the Arctic. To the south, Kougachuk Creek winds through the low-lying plain, while further north, the distinct branches of Kungealoruk Creek drain into the sound. This map, based on aerial photography from 1949 and 1950, documents the hydrology of the Baldwin Peninsula area before significant modern changes.
