1955 Map of Meade River A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Singiluk stands as a central point of interest in this mid-century Arctic landscape, situated within a vast network of thaw lakes and meandering watercourses. The drainage of the Meade River dominates the western portion of the terrain, while the Usuktuk River and its associated Winter Tractor Trail define the eastern reach. This area is characterized by low-relief wetlands and oriented lakes typical of the North Slope, where seasonal transportation relied heavily on overland routes like the Winter Trail. Numerous smaller tributaries including Agutiroak Creek, Pisiksagiavik Cr, and Piksiksak Creek cut through the tundra, illustrating the complex hydrological patterns of the Alaskan interior before modern development. The mapping reflects the mid-1950s period of systematic Arctic documentation conducted by the Army Map Service.
