1955 Map of Point Lay A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Amatusuk Hills dominate the central landscape of this North Slope interior, where the high Arctic terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and winding river systems. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a stark, undeveloped wilderness where drainage patterns dictate the only movement across the land. The Kokolik River winds through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while Deadfall Creek and the Epizetka River carve deep into the northern and southern sectors. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this mid-century survey underscores the isolation of the region, providing a baseline for researchers studying the unchanged hydrology and geomorphology of Alaska's remote interior before modern shifts in the landscape.
