1984 Map of Misheguk Mountain D-1

About this map

The Colville River and its northern tributaries dominate this Arctic landscape within the expansive National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. This 1984 edition, based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s, captures a region defined by complex hydrology and isolated terrain features. Significant watercourses including Reynard Creek, Nuka River, and the winding Singayoak Creek provide the primary geographical structure. Near the confluence of several streams, a solitary Tractor Trail cuts across the tundra, marking one of the few human imprints in this wilderness. Local topography is highlighted by named heights such as Nuka and the small collection of Migrant Lakes in the southeastern quadrant. The map serves as a detailed record of the drainage patterns of Sorepaw Creek and other waterways that feed the region's vast watershed before further resource exploration altered the landscape.
