1955 Map of Meade River A-4

About this map

Nigisaktuvik River meanders across this vast Arctic landscape, reflecting a remote environment largely untouched by permanent settlement during the mid-1950s. Located within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, the terrain is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and ponds typical of the North Slope coastal plain. This 1955 survey, edited and published by the U.S. Geological Survey, documents the area's hydrology before later industrial exploration altered the region's profile.
