1955 Map of Point Hope A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Chukchi Sea coastline and the meandering Kukpuk River define this mid-century Alaskan landscape, which was mapped by the Army Map Service using 1952 aerial photography. A prominent Winter Trail skirts the southern edge of the terrain, connecting the coastal lagoons such as Atosik Lagoon and Mapsorak Lagoon to the inland ridges. The interior is dominated by significant elevations including Kisimilok Mountain and Sakolik Mountain, separated by high-relief features like Battery Ridge and Sigrikpak Ridge. The presence of the Alolukrok (Site) suggests a location of human activity or seasonal occupation along the river's path, while various waterways like Phosphorite Creek and Niyikluk Creek drain the complex topographic heights toward the sea.
