About this map

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska dominates this landscape on the North Slope, characterized by a complex network of thousands of small thaw lakes and interconnected wetlands. Transportation in this mid-century period relied heavily on seasonal routes, evidenced by the numerous Winter Tractor Trails and Tractor Trails that crisscross the tundra. These routes were essential for navigating the low-lying terrain during the frozen months when the ground could support heavy equipment.
