1985 Map of Lookout Ridge C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Meade River meanders sharply across this portion of the North Slope, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape largely untouched by permanent settlement. Within the expansive National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, the topography is dominated by subtle rises such as Shaningarok Ridge and Kulugra Ridge. These features provide the only significant relief in a region of permafrost and tundra. Transportation at the time of this 1985 edit was limited to seasonal routes, evidenced by the scattered Tractor Trail segments that navigate the complex bends of Shaningarok Creek and Pahrou Creek. The map illustrates a transitional period of resource exploration, where modern aerial photogrammetry was used to document a wilderness that remained accessible primarily by specialized vehicles following traditional overland paths.
