1981 Map of Arctic B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Junjik River meanders across this northern landscape, which was mapped in the early 1980s based on 1972 aerial photography. This territory is located within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, characterized by a complex network of waterways and high-latitude terrain. Notable water bodies such as Timber Lake and Portage Lake are clearly delineated, providing key landmarks in an area devoid of roads or permanent settlements. The map illustrates a transitional environment where stands of Timber are specifically noted among the drainages. Smaller tributaries like Crow Nest Creek and Smoke Creek feed into the larger river systems, defining the drainage patterns of the North Slope Borough. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey offers a look at the region’s topography before contemporary climate shifts further altered these remote Arctic hydrologic systems.
