About this map

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline cuts a distinct path through this northern landscape during its mid-1970s development phase. This survey captures a pivotal moment in the industrial history of the North Slope, documenting the infrastructure required for one of the world's largest engineering projects. The presence of Toolik Lake Camp and an adjacent Landing Strip near Toolik Lake reflects the establishment of remote work sites and scientific research bases that became permanent fixtures in the Brooks Range foothills.
