1955 Map of Selawik B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Selawik Lake dominates the northern half of this landscape, its expansive shoreline defining the transition into the wetlands and tundra of northwest Alaska. The interior terrain is characterized by a complex network of small lakes and seasonal ponds, particularly surrounding the Kauk River as it meanders through the low-lying coastal plain. Human activity is concentrated around Reindeer Station, a significant point of historical interest for those studying early twentieth-century herding practices and indigenous land use in the region. A Winter Trail provides a rare terrestrial route through this water-rich environment, cutting across the marshes toward the elevated prominence of Scholtz. Much of the territory is managed under the designation of Amnwr, reflecting the area's importance as a sanctuary for migratory birds and arctic wildlife during the mid-1950s.
