1955 Map of Meade River D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Inaru River meanders across this Arctic landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by thaw lakes and coastal plain tundra. Mapped in the mid-1950s within the boundaries of the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, the sheet reveals a remote wilderness where transport was limited to a few specific Tractor routes and a seasonal Trail. Large water bodies like Kilusiktok Lake and Eyrulivik Lake are prominent landmarks in a terrain otherwise saturated with unnamed ponds. A lone Cabin near the river bank serves as the only evidence of human habitation, likely used for trapping or seasonal subsistence. This survey, compiled from photogrammetric methods by the Army Map Service and the Bureau of Land Management, captures the area's geography before significant modern development in the North Slope region.
