1955 Map of Noatak B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Agashashok River dominates this mid-century topographic record, winding through a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and unnamed ridge systems. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from the early 1950s, the terrain is anchored by the prominent Asik Mountain in the northwest. The presence of Knapp Creek and other drainage patterns reflects the complex hydrology of this region within the Northwest Arctic. This survey captures the land in a state largely devoid of permanent roads or developed settlements, providing a clear baseline for studying the natural geography and traditional land use before modern infrastructure. The detailed contour intervals illustrate the literal shape of the hills and valleys that defined local movement and travel routes during this era.
