1955 Map of Point Hope C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Ipewik River winds through this unpopulated expanse of the North Slope, following a path through a landscape defined by isolated elevations and intricate drainage systems. In this mid-century survey, the geography is marked by prominent landmarks such as South Atuk Hill and Amulik Hill, which serve as primary navigational points in a territory with no established roads or trails. Smaller watercourses including Oligarik Creek and Sabrelak Creek feed into the larger river systems, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Arctic coastal plain. The terrain around Tungnak Hill and Tungnak Creek reflects the land-line data predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, recorded here before further modernization reached this remote corner of Alaska. This document captures the physical character of the land as it was understood during the post-war mapping efforts of the 1950s.
