1955 Map of Shungnak D-2
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Kobuk and its surrounding wilderness are defined by the intricate meandering of the Kobuk River, which dominates this 1955 survey of the Northwest Arctic. The landscape transitions from the expansive, water-potted lowlands near the Kuikcherk River to the prominent elevations of the Lockwood Hills and Asbestos Mountain. This era captures a region shaped by subsistence and emerging infrastructure, evidenced by the Dahl Creek Airstrip and isolated markers of human presence like a Mine and various cabins.
