About this map

The vast expanse of Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 dominates the coastal landscape of Northern Alaska in this reconnaissance survey. This era of exploration is marked by the presence of isolated structures and remote encampments, including an abandoned Trading Post near Pitt Point and a lone Cabin situated southeast of Cape Halkett. The hydrology of the North Slope is captured in intricate detail, showing the massive Teshekpuk Lake and the meandering deltas of the Colville River and Ikpikpuk River as they drain into the Beaufort Sea.
