1955 Map of Meade River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lake Itinik and Lake Tuvak dominate this expansive landscape on the Arctic coastal plain, where countless unnamed thaw lakes and ponds saturate the tundra. The intricate network of waterways includes the meandering Kugrua River and Kungok River, which flow across the flat terrain. The reliance on seasonal access is evident in the presence of a Winter Trail cutting through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This 1955 survey, compiled by the Army Map Service, captures the remote character of the North Slope within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. The distribution of oriented lakes suggests the distinct geomorphological processes of this permafrost-underlain region, where surface water is constrained by the frozen ground below.
