About this map

The Putuligayuk River snakes through this North Slope landscape, showing the early industrial footprint of the Alaska oil boom shortly after the 1968 discovery. At the heart of the activity is the Discovery Well Prudhoe Bay State No 1, a landmark of American energy history situated near the coast of Prudhoe Bay. The orthophotomap format reveals the complex network of thaw lakes and wetlands that define the tundra, interspersed with the newly built gravel infrastructure of the era.
