1971 Map of Chandler Lake C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Anaktuvuk River and Kanayut River define this high-latitude drainage system, documented through aerial photography in the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by prominent geological formations such as Kanayut Bluff and Naniksrak Mountain, alongside the distinctive Table Top plateau. This period of mapping shows a reliance on seasonal transport routes, with a marked Winter Road and several segments of Winter Trail cutting through the valleys and over ridges. These tracks represent the primary human imprint on a terrain otherwise dominated by natural drainage, including Willow Creek, Tundra Creek, and the headwaters of the Nanushuk River. The scarcity of permanent structures emphasizes the seasonal and itinerant nature of land use in this part of the North Slope during the late 20th century.
