1984 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-1

About this map

National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska dominates this landscape, showing a vast Arctic wetland environment as it appeared in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and meandering watercourses, notably the Koluktak Lakes in the southwest and the winding path of Key Creek. A series of distinctive small peaks or high points carry personal names such as Aphra, Kathy, Linda, Army, and Kristy, serving as crucial landmarks in a region devoid of roads or permanent settlements. This survey, based on 1971 aerial photography, provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and hydrologic features of the North Slope before significant modern shifts in the permafrost landscape.
