1971 Map of Philip Smith Mountains D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Oksrukuyik serves as a notable landmark in this 1970s landscape, positioned near the bank of the Sagavanirktok River. This remote Arctic territory is defined by its vast drainage systems, where the Lupine River and Ribdon River carve through the terrain. The presence of a Winter Rd running parallel to the primary river system highlights the seasonal transportation methods essential for navigating this northern environment before more permanent infrastructure arrived. Physical features such as the Kakuktukruich mountains and the prominent Bluff provide distinct topographical markers in an otherwise transition-heavy landscape. The mapping, based on 1970 aerial photography, captures the drainage patterns and early overland routes prior to significant industrial expansion in the North Slope region.
