1955 Map of Noatak B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Noatak River dominates the eastern landscape of this Arctic region, meandering through a complex network of wetlands and seasonal channels. In this 1950s interior view, the Eli River converges from the northeast, creating a high-density riparian zone marked by the small settlement of Nauyoaruk along its banks. The topography is defined by the Alutunitok Hills in the north and the Igichuk Hills to the south, separated by the drainage of Kilikmak Creek. This mid-century survey captures a traditional transportation corridor through a Winter Trail that tracks parallel to the main river, a critical detail for understanding historical movement across the unsurveyed and unmarked lands of the Kateel River Meridian. The map provides a rare look at these indigenous and seasonal travel routes before modern infrastructure or significant environmental changes altered the basin's hydrology.
