1955 Map of Selawik A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Selawik Hills dominate this portion of the Northwest Arctic, where the terrain transitions from the elevated interior to the meandering drainage basins of the north. Photogrammetric methods capture the complex hydrology of the region, including the winding course of the Kauk River and the Maryuuk River. These waterways, along with Lomen Creek, illustrate the natural drainage patterns of an unsurveyed landscape as it was documented in the mid-1950s. The map represents a significant effort by the Army Map Service to document the Kateel River Meridian, showing predetermined but unmarked land lines that reflect the administrative challenges of managing this immense northern territory.
