1971 Map of Sagavanirktok A-3

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River dominates this Arctic landscape, its braided channels carving through a vast network of wetlands and tundra in the North Slope region. The drainage system is further defined by the Lupine River, which feeds into the primary waterway from the east. To the southwest, the Kakuktukruich Bluff provides a distinct topographic contrast to the surrounding river valley. Human presence in this isolated terrain is limited to the essential infrastructure of the era, most notably the Winter Road running parallel to the main river, a critical seasonal transportation link before the establishment of permanent highways. A lone Gaging Sta along the riverbank suggests the importance of hydrological monitoring in this remote environment during the early 1970s.
