1971 Map of Sagavanirktok A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kuparuk River winds through this Arctic landscape, defining the western drainage of a region shaped by permafrost and glacial action. The terrain is dominated by the massive presence of Kakukturat Mountain to the southeast, where the elevation rises significantly above the surrounding tundra. This 1971 survey captures the area just as modern infrastructure began to touch the North Slope. A solitary Winter Trail marks the only established passage through the northern section, reflecting the seasonal nature of movement in a landscape where frozen ground and snow provided the primary means of transport across the wetlands and braided river systems before permanent roads were established.
