1955 Map of Selawik B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Selawik Lake dominates the western horizon of this mid-century survey, where the brackish waters meet a complex network of wetlands and tundra. The geography is defined by the hydrologic connection between Inland Lake and the larger Tuklomarak Lake, woven together by the meandering course of the Mangoak River. This landscape reflects the untouched coastal plains of the Northwest Arctic, where the transition from open water to marshland is fluid and ever-shifting. To the east, the Fox River cuts through the low-lying terrain, marking a distinct drainage pattern typical of the region's arctic coastal plain. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this 1955 record underscores the isolation of the area, emphasizing a terrain shaped entirely by water and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles rather than human infrastructure.
