1951 Map of Misheguk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Misheguk Mountain and the De Long Mountains dominate this northern Alaskan interior landscape, a region defined by the massive Brooks Range. Much of the northern half of the territory is contained within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the strategic resource interests of the era following World War II. The map details an intricate drainage system where the Utukok River and Kokolik River flow northward toward the Arctic, while the Noatak River and Kugururok River drain the southern slopes. This reconnaissance survey, compiled using trimetrogon photography from the mid-1940s, documents the topographic character of high peaks like Meat Mountain and Thunder Mountain before more modern infrastructure arrived. Remote landmarks such as Rabbit Ears and Noluck Lake serve as key navigational points in this vast wilderness.
