1955 Map of Point Hope B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Kukpuk River snakes across this Arctic landscape, serving as a primary corridor through the Lisburne Hills during the mid-1950s. Small settlements and camps including Kukpuk, Itublurak, and Kunuk are positioned along its banks or near the coastal drainages, reflecting the traditional movement patterns of the region. The map reveals a land defined by water and high ground, from the expansive Ajautak Lagoon on the edge of the Chukchi Sea to the interior peaks of Mount Niaktuvik and Ogsachak Mountain. Researchers can trace various named tributaries such as Kemegrak Creek and Taktelak Creek as they flow from the high ridges toward the coast. The notation of Kayak (site) provides a specific point of interest for those studying the archaeological or historical habitation of the North Slope.
