1951 Map of Selawik

About this map

Kobuk Native Reservation and the surrounding tundra landscapes dominate this mid-century survey of the Northwest Arctic region. The village of Noorvik sits as a central hub near the Nazuruk Channel, while the settlement of Selawik anchors the eastern shore of Selawik Lake. This map captures a landscape defined by seasonal transit, with several Winter Trails and shelter cabins like the Arctic Circle Shelter Cabin and Singauruk Shelter Cabin providing the only overland routes through the Waring Mountains and across the Baldwin Peninsula.
