1955 Map of Selawik A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Selawik Hills dominate the interior of this Arctic landscape, where topographical data was compiled from 1955 aerial photography. This interior region of the Northwest Arctic is defined by seasonal movement and remote landmarks, evidenced by the presence of a Winter Trail navigating the western lowlands near the Buckland River. The map marks localized high points and named landmarks such as Emmaus, Buckland, and Saturday, which likely served as crucial orientation points for travelers in an era when land lines remained largely unsurveyed. To the north, the Kauk River and Harvey Creek drain the upland slopes, illustrating the complex hydrology of the tundra before extensive modern development altered the region's accessibility.
