1952 Map of Noatak D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Chukchi Sea and Arctic Ocean dominate this coastal survey, where the Alaskan shoreline meets the water at the distinctive Cape Seppings. This landscape is defined by the narrow Gravel and Sand Ridge that separates the open ocean from Tusikpok Lagoon, a characteristic barrier formation of the Northwest Arctic. Inland, the terrain rises sharply from the drainage of the Singoalik River into prominent peaks, including Sacroeruk Mtn and Oatcoosekruk Mtn. The Army Map Service used aerial photography from the early 1950s to map this remote stretch of coast, capturing the natural hydrology and topographical landmarks like Singoalik VABM 308 before significant modern changes. The map provides a focused look at the intersection of maritime and mountain environments in a region with no established roads or trails.
