1952 Map of Noatak A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Cape Krusenstern stands as the prominent geographical hinge where the Chukchi Sea meets Kotzebue Sound along the northwestern coast of Alaska. This 1952 topographic study, based on aerial photography from the Army Map Service, documents a landscape of coastal lagoons and mountainous tundra during a period of minimal permanent infrastructure. The presence of the Tikizat (Site) and Talikoot (Alex's) suggest traditional coastal land use and subsistence patterns, further supported by the isolated Shelter Cabin and a remote Airstrip near the shoreline.
