1971 Map of Sagavanirktok A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sagavanirktok River and its tributary, the Lupine River, dominate this North Slope terrain during a period of massive industrial transformation. The map documents the early infrastructure of the North Slope oil boom, specifically noting The Trans-Alaska Pipeline while it was still (UNDER CONSTRUCTION). This industrial corridor is further supported by a Winter Road and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the logistical challenges of Arctic development. Above the river basin, the Kakuktukruich Bluff provides a significant geographic anchor. While the landscape is largely characterized by vast drainage patterns and muskeg, the inclusion of a Gaging Sta and a Tower reflects the scientific and communication network required to support the pipeline's path through the Alaskan wilderness.
