1955 Map of Point Lay B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Kukpowruk River and the Epizetka River meander through this remote portion of the North Slope, revealing a landscape defined by expansive drainage systems and high-latitude topography. This 1955 photogrammetric survey captures the area before modern infrastructure arrived, showing a network of unnamed tributaries and ponds that dominate the northern coastal plain. The terrain transitions from the low-lying basin surrounding Kuvirok Lake in the north to the more pronounced elevations of the Kiklupiklak Hills and Amatusuk Hills in the south. The absence of roads or established trails highlights the wilderness character of the region during the mid-twentieth century, while the inclusion of the Base Line provides a key surveying reference for these unsurveyed and unmarked land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
