1951 Map of Selawik B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Baldwin Peninsula dominates this coastal survey, serving as a prominent landmass separating the waters of Hotham Inlet and Selawik Lake to the north from the expansive Eschscholtz Bay to the south. The mapping reflects a landscape of critical importance for Arctic logistics and transport during the early 1950s. On the southern shoreline, Elephant Point and the nearby Baldwin Seaplane Base indicate a hub of aviation and maritime activity. The interior of the peninsula is characterized by hundreds of small unnamed water bodies, while the Kauk River meanders into the bay along the southeastern coastline. Isolated structures like the lone Cabin on the northern shore suggest the sparse, seasonal human presence typical of the era in the Northwest Arctic.
