1952 Map of Noatak D-7

About this map

Arctic Ocean waters meet the coast of the Northwest Arctic Borough along this desolate stretch of the Chukchi Sea. The coastline is defined by a series of significant brackish bodies, including Singoalik Lagoon, Seppings Lagoon, and the elongated Tasikpak Lagoon. These water features are separated from the open sea by narrow gravel and sand ridges, characteristic of the dynamic coastal geomorphology found in the Alaskan Arctic. Inland, the terrain rises toward several distinct landmarks like Sakrorak Mtn and Utkusikrak Hill, which provide relief above the tundra. This 1952 photogrammetric survey, revised in 1991, captures the drainage patterns of the Singoalik River and Sakrorak Creek as they flow toward the lagoons. The map provides an essential record of the shoreline before modern environmental shifts significantly altered these fragile coastal boundaries.
