About this map

The Sagavanirktok River Delta dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a complex Arctic coastal landscape where the Sagavanirktok River (Main Channel) meets the Beaufort Sea. The terrain is characterized by an intricate network of braided channels and thaw lakes, with Foggy Island sitting just offshore in Foggy Island Bay. The map records early industrial and logistical footprints in the North Slope region, noting several remote installations such as a Drill Pad and numerous Drill Hole sites scattered across the tundra.
