1955 Map of Meade River D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska dominates this landscape, characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and meandering waterways in the Arctic coastal plain. The Inaru River winds across the central and southern portions of the sheet, providing a primary drainage route for the surrounding wetlands. This 1950s era survey captures the traditional pathways across the permafrost, most notably the seasonal Winter Trail that cuts through the northwestern corner. Notable water bodies such as Kilusiktok Lake and Tractor Lake are prominent features in this lacustrine environment. To the northeast, Evulilivik Lake and the smaller Niklavik Creek further illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Meade River region during the mid-twentieth century.
