1951 Map of Noatak

About this map

Kivalina and Noatak stand as the primary coastal and inland hubs in this 1951 reconnaissance mapping of the Northwest Arctic. This survey captures a region defined by its expansive river systems, where the Noatak River and Agashashok River wind through the Igichuk Hills toward the Kotzebue Sound. The map documents the vital infrastructure of the era, including a noted airstrip and a Winter Trail following the shoreline from Cape Seppings past Corwin Lagoon.
