1955 Map of Point Lay A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Kukpowruk River winds through this northern landscape, carving a deep path through the Amatusuk Hills as it flows toward the Arctic coast. This mid-century survey, based on aerial photography from 1955, reveals a remote wilderness defined by drainage patterns and geologic formations rather than human settlement. The Beaufort Basin occupies the southern portion of the map, where the terrain flattens significantly compared to the ridgelines of the hills. Tributaries such as Kuchiak Creek and Deadfall Creek illustrate the complex watershed of the North Slope, providing a detailed view of the natural topography before any modern infrastructure touched this region. This sheet represents an era of primary mapping by the Army Map Service, documenting the exact contours of unsurveyed and unmarked lands within the Umiat Meridian.
