1984 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Oumalik River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a complex path of oxbows and wetlands within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. This Arctic terrain is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes, including the concentrated Oumalik Lakes to the southeast and the winding Ishuktak Creek in the northwest. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts and survey points such as Gary, Bella, and Kyle, which appear alongside infrastructure supporting resource exploration. A prominent Tractor Trail cuts across the tundra, providing a seasonal overland link between remote sites, while a Landing Strip near the river indicates the necessity of bush planes for regional access. Several drill holes and markers like 156 E Base and 156 W Base record the technical history of geological surveying in the mid-20th century.
