1955 Map of Point Hope C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Nilik River and the Ipewik River dominate this mid-century landscape in the Alaskan Arctic, winding through a complex system of drainage basins and highlands. Established from 1950s aerial photography by the Army Map Service, the topography reveals a roadless wilderness characterized by significant landmarks like Tunak Mountain and South Aluk Hill. The intricate network of waterways, including the meandering Oligavik Creek and Tungnak Creek, illustrates the hydrological patterns of the North Slope before significant modern infrastructure. This 1:63,360 scale study captures the remote character of the region as it was understood during the early Cold War era, providing a primary record of native place names and natural features like Amullik Hill and Sakvelak Creek.
