1951 Map of Noatak

About this map

Kivalina and Noatak stand as the primary hubs of human activity in this coastal Alaskan landscape, documented in the early 1950s. The region is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Wulik River and Kivalina River empty into the Corwin Lagoon along the Chukchi Sea. Further south, the expansive drainage of the Noatak River dominates the interior, winding between the Mulgrave Hills and Igichuk Hills before reaching the Kotzebue Sound.
