1955 Map of Selawik D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Kiana serves as a vital focal point where the Squirrel River meets the braided channels of the Kobuk River. This mid-century survey illustrates the importance of seasonal transport in the Arctic, documenting the Winter Trail and Winter Portage Trail that connect the river systems across the landscape. The infrastructure of the era is anchored by the Bob Baker Memorial Airport and the adjacent Bob Baker Memorial Airport Cem, reflecting the region's reliance on aviation for year-round access. To the south, the Hockley Hills dominate the interior, punctuated by remote outposts like the Singauruk Shelter Cabin along the Singauruk River. The map details a network of drainage systems, including Napaktuk Creek and Ohtaron Creek, which define the low-lying tundra and wetland areas between the high ridges and the river banks.
