1955 Map of Meade River A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Nigisaktuvik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, carving a complex network of channels and oxbow lakes through a terrain dotted with small ponds and low-lying wetlands. This 1955 survey of a remote section of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 captures the area during an era of significant geological exploration in the North Slope region. The map reveals the ephemeral nature of transport in this environment, dominated by a prominent Tractor Trail that cuts through the southern reaches, likely serving early survey or industrial efforts.
