1955 Map of Demarcation Point C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range dominates this mid-century survey, capturing a complex network of braided rivers and coastal lagoons on Alaska's North Slope. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage of the Kongakut River, which flows northward alongside numerous smaller watercourses like Kalokut Creek and the Ekaluakat River. These glacial-fed streams create a dense web of gravel bars and shifting channels typical of the Arctic coastal plain. Near the northern edge, the freshwater systems meet the sea at Siku Lagoon, while isolated topographic markers like Gwen and Dar stand out amidst the unsurveyed terrain. Compiled from 1955 aerial photography by the Army Map Service, the map reflects a period of systematic inventory for this remote wilderness before it became a focal point of environmental preservation.
