1956 Map of Table Mountain

About this map

The high peaks of the Brooks Range dominate this mid-century survey of the Arctic wilderness along the international boundary. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major drainage systems, where the Kongakut River flows north toward the Arctic Ocean while the Sheenjek River and Coleen River wind southward through glaciated valleys. The presence of a single Cabin near the Old Crow River emphasizes the sparse human footprint in this territory during the 1950s.
