1971 Map of Chandler Lake B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Shainin Lake and the surrounding drainages of the Kanayut River define this high-altitude landscape on the North Slope. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is characterized by a complex network of glacial valleys and mountain summits, notably Mount Wachsmuth and the distinctive Ear Peak. The drainage patterns here are intricate, with Alapah Creek and Welcome Creek carving deep paths through the upland territory. This survey was produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using photogrammetric methods from 1970 aerial photography, providing a record of these remote waterways, including the Nanushuk River and Iknivik Creek, in their late-century state. The presence of features like Erratic Creek and Antler Valley Creek points to the naming conventions used by field annotators to describe the unique physical characteristics found within the Umiat Meridian.
