1955 Map of Selawik A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Selawik Hills dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising above a vast system of meandering waterways and tundra pools in the northern flats. Based on aerial photography and field annotations from the mid-1950s, the map reveals a remote terrain where water defines the passage through the land. The Manyluk River winds through the northeast corner, while the Kauk River and Lomen Creek drain the north-central area. The Kateel River Meridian serves as the surveying baseline here, though the margin notes that land lines represent unsurveyed and unmarked locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management. This lack of roads or established trails highlights the wilderness character of the region during this era, where traditional travel likely followed these prominent watercourses.
