1955 Map of Noatak C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Noatak sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, positioned along the banks of the mighty Noatak River. The landscape is dominated by the intricate branching of river channels and braided streams, particularly where the Eli River flows from the east to join the main waterway. The mapping captured in the 1950s illustrates a wilderness environment where human infrastructure was limited to the essential Landing Strip serving the local settlement. The topographic detail reveals a complex network of seasonal wetlands and drainage systems, including Kuchatna Creek and Kugururok Creek, which define the low-lying terrain of the Northwest Arctic. This map serves as a primary record of the region's geography before significant modern changes, reflecting the isolation and environmental character of this northern river valley.
