1952 Map of Noatak A-3

About this map

Kotzebue Sound defines the southern edge of this Arctic coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape transitions into a vast network of marshes and tidal flats. The Tookrook River and Sittookooyook River drain into the extensive Aukoolak Lagoon, a prominent coastal feature separated from the open sound by narrow spits. The map records traces of seasonal or transitory human presence in this environment, including a Shelter Cabin and an Old Camp Site located along the northern bank of the river mouth.
