1956 Map of Misheguk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Brooks Range peaks and the upper reaches of the Noatak River define this expansive Alaskan wilderness. The map documents a time when access relied heavily on a Winter Trail stretching across the northern tundra and a scattered Landing Area for bush pilots. A lone Cabin near Noluck Lake provides one of the few signs of human habitation in a landscape characterized by dramatic landforms like Rabbit Ears and Copter Peak. Much of the northern terrain falls within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the era's strategic focus on arctic resource potential. From the Misheguk Mountain massif to the complex drainage of the Utukok River, the sheet records the Indigenous and descriptive nomenclature of the region's ridges and passes, including Natinakunit Pass and the Imikneyak Mountains.
