1955 Map of Meade River B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Meade River meanders through the North Slope of Alaska in the mid-1950s, defining a landscape dominated by thaw lakes and arctic waterways. This area, located within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, shows the isolated settlement of Atkasuk (Aban'd) and a nearby Mine situated along the riverbank. The terrain is crisscrossed by several prominent Tractor Trails and a traditional Trail system, indicating the seasonal transport routes essential for survival and resource exploration in this environment. Significant water features such as Kigakrak Lake and the Usuktuk River anchor the drainage network, while a lone Landing Strip provides a vital link to the outside world. Smaller structures including a Cabin and various Ruins suggest a history of seasonal habitation and subsistence, while names like Nigisaktuvuk River and Pikroka Creek reflect the indigenous geography of the region.
