1951 Map of Selawik A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Eschscholtz Bay and the winding course of the Buckland River dominate this landscape on the northern coast of Alaska. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map reveals a remote environment where subsistence and seasonal activity are marked by isolated Cabins and a Reindeer Corral near the shoreline. The topography is defined by low-lying wetlands and complex drainage systems, including Duck Creek and Dick Slough, which cut through the tundra toward the bay. Notable coastal landmarks such as Elephant Point and Igloo Pt provide essential navigation references along the water's edge. The land lines shown represent unsurveyed and unmarked locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, reflecting the vast, untamed nature of the Northwest Arctic during this era.
