1971 Map of Philip Smith Mountains D-2
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Saviukviayak River and Lupine River dominate this 1971 Alaskan landscape, where the waterways slice through a series of dramatic mountain ridges. Based on photogrammetric methods from 1970 aerial photography, the map reveals a remote wilderness before significant infrastructure changes. The terrain is marked by prominent features like Lupine and the drainage of Flood Creek, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of the North Slope. This survey, which was field annotated in 1971 but not field checked, represents a raw topographic record compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey and the USC&GS. It provides a precise view of the braided river channels and sharp contour transitions characteristic of this Arctic mountain range.
