1955 Map of Noatak C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Mulik Hills dominate this interior landscape, a region of the Arctic defined by a complex network of glacial tributaries and meandering water bodies. Based on 1952 aerial photography and 1955 field annotations, this map captures the remote expanse before modern infrastructure reached the area. The Noatak River flows through the southeastern corner, serving as a primary corridor for the region's movement. Further north, the Kiyak Creek and Kuchoruk Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the tundra. Small clusters of Cabins near the riverbanks provide evidence of seasonal occupancy or subsistence outposts, offering a rare glimpse into the mid-century human footprint in this part of the Northwest Arctic. This sheet highlights the transition between the rolling uplands and the broader river valleys, mapped during a period of extensive photogrammetric survey by the Army Map Service.
