1955 Map of Point Hope B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Kukpuk River and Ipewik River dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of the Chukchi Sea meet the Ajautak Lagoon. The area is characterized by vast drainage systems and seasonal settlements like Itublarak and Kukpuk positioned along the major waterways. Elevations rise sharply from the riverbanks to prominent landmarks such as Mount Niaktuvik, Ogsachak Mountain, and the Kemegrak Hills. The intricate network of smaller tributaries including Akalolik Creek and Nalakachak Creek reveals a terrain defined by water flow and traditional subsistence routes. This 1955 survey, with later minor revisions, provides a look at the North Slope before significant modern infrastructure, focusing on the natural geography and indigenous place names that define the region's historical identity.
