About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 dominates this Arctic coastal landscape, reflecting the mid-century push for energy exploration in the far north. The map documents early industrial activity with labels for the Simpson Test Well No 1 and a cluster of Test wells No 13-24 near the shores of Sinclair Lake. These markers, along with an isolated Airstrip and scattered Ruins, trace the human footprint in a region defined by its seasonal access and specialized transit.
