1955 Map of Shungnak D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The meandering Kobuk River dominates this mid-century landscape in the Northwest Arctic, where the settlement of Shungnak serves as the primary focal point. Photogrammetric methods from 1957 reveal a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes, with the Kukkeakruk River and Shungnak River feeding into the main channel. The presence of several Cabins and a Sawmill scattered along the waterways suggests a seasonal or subsistence-based economy tied to the river's resources.
