1986 Map of Killik River D-3

About this map

Oolamnagavik River dominates the southeastern quadrant of this 1980s landscape, winding through a complex network of glacial and alluvial terrain in northern Alaska. The map, compiled from 1973 aerial photography, illustrates a vast, uninhabited watershed where unnamed ridges and valleys are defined by the paths of Aupuk Creek and Heather Creek. A significant confluence occurs where the East Fork Oolamnagavik River joins the main stem, highlighting the drainage patterns essential for navigation and survival in this Arctic environment. These topographical details reflect the state of the terrain as it was recorded before modern shifts in permafrost and drainage, providing a baseline for environmental study and geographic history in the North Slope Borough.
