1955 Map of Meade River A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Meade River meanders across this Arctic landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and river bends within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. This 1955 survey by the Army Map Service documents a remote region of the North Slope defined by its seasonal transport routes rather than permanent settlements. Transport across the tundra is marked by several variations of a Winter Tractor Trail, illustrating how the mid-century energy and defense sectors navigated this environment before modern permanent infrastructure. The terrain is dominated by a dense concentration of thaw lakes and minor drainages like Agutirvak Creek and the Usuktuk River. The landmark of Singiluk stands as a notable named point amidst the vast water-pocked plains, while Piksiksak Creek and Pisiksagiavik Creek feed into the primary river system, reflecting the intricate hydrology of the Alaskan interior.
