About this map

Industrial outposts and gravel pads dot the wet tundra of the North Slope in this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1970 aerial photography to document the early infrastructure of the oil era. The settlement of Deadhorse serves as a focal point for the region's development, supported by a nearby Airfield and a network of specialized installations including Halliburton Camp, Burgess Camp, and Magley Camp. The landscape is defined by the braided channels of northern river systems and an array of technical features such as Central Pad 1, Central Pad 2, and Central Pad 3. This edition captures the specific moment when exploration was transforming the geography of the Arctic coast, evidenced by scattered Drill Holes and the Winter Trail that provided seasonal access across the permafrost.
