1951 Map of Kotzebue D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Baldwin Peninsula dominates this 1951 topographic survey, showcasing a complex landscape of coastal tundra and lacustrine features in Arctic Alaska. The map provides a high-resolution view of the peninsula as it stood in the early 1950s, defined by hundreds of small lakes and ponds that pockmark the terrain between the coastline and the interior. Along the northern margin, the Noatak River Delta enters the system, while the eastern shore is shaped by the expansive waters of Hotham Inlet. Specialized coastal landforms such as Pipe Spit and Nimiuk Pt are clearly delineated, offering researchers a baseline to study decades of shoreline change. This mapping effort by the Army Map Service and the Bureau of Land Management captures a sparsely populated region where traditional land use and environmental shifts intersect at the edge of the Seward Peninsula and the Arctic Circle.
