1955 Map of Selawik C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Kobuk River delta dominates this mid-century environment, fracturing into a complex network of waterways including the Riley Channel, Olikatuk Channel, and the sweeping Nazuruk Channel. These braided streams navigate a landscape of countless unnamed tundra ponds and wetlands before emptying into Selawik Lake and the Hotham Inlet. This 1955 survey captures the transition of the river as it slows and deposits sediment, forming distinct landforms like the Baldwin Peninsula. Human presence is minimal, noted only by a cluster of Cabins near the northern reaches of the Nazuruk Channel, suggesting seasonal use for fishing or trapping. Points of land such as Mukuksok Pt and Attiunik Pt serve as important navigational markers for those traversing the intricate Mukuksok Channel and Attiunik Channel by boat.
