About this map

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska dominates this 1984 survey, which documents a wilderness landscape of the North Slope defined by its complex drainage systems. The northern portion is characterized by the Rolling Hills and the meandering Kiligwa River, which flows alongside numerous tributaries such as Jubilee Creek and Recon Creek. This region illustrates the vast, uninhabited terrain before the full establishment of modern industrial infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural hydrology and land reservations. To the south, the boundary of the Noatak National Preserve and the Noatak Wilderness marks a transition into protected lands, with watercourses like Stone Creek and Twistem Creek carving through the elevation. The absence of roads or trails emphasizes the region's character as a remote wilderness area during the late twentieth century.
