1984 Map of Killik River D-2

About this map

The Colville River carves through the northern reaches of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, marking a landscape defined by significant Arctic waterways. This 1984 edition, based on aerial photography from the 1970s, captures the complex hydrology of the North Slope where the Killik River joins the main channel at Killik Bend. To the west, the Oolamnagavik River and its East Fork flow through terrain punctuated by the prominent Imnatchiak Bluff in the southeast. While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the presence of a single marked Trail and named drainages like Quandary Creek and Mayuasanik Creek reflect the sparse infrastructure and specific nomenclature used by surveyors and land managers at the time.
