1956 Map of Misheguk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Misheguk Mountain stands as a prominent landmark within the northern reaches of the Brooks Range, specifically in the De Long Mountains of Alaska's North Slope. This 1950s era survey documents a landscape of extreme isolation, dominated by the Naval Petroleum Reserve and an extensive network of ephemeral waterways like the Nuka River and the Colville River. Human presence is sparse and functional, indicated only by a remote Cabin near Noluck Lake and a Landing Area situated along the Utukok River. A network of Winter Trails provides the only designated overland passage through the mountain passes. The map identifies several distinctive geological and topographical features, such as the twin peaks of Rabbit Ears and the high elevation of Amaktukvik Pass, offering a look at the region before modern development reached the deep interior of the Arctic.
