1955 Map of Sagavanirktok C-1

About this map

Kavik River and Juniper Creek define the drainage patterns of this subarctic landscape on Alaska's North Slope as it was documented in the mid-1950s. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of braided streams and small tundra ponds, typical of the permafrost-underlain coastal plain and foothills. Human presence in this environment is sparse, indicated primarily by a seasonal Winter Trail that cuts across the western portion of the sheet. A small cluster of Cabins situated along the banks of Juniper Creek serves as the only named settlement or shelter, likely representing a temporary camp for hunting, trapping, or early resource exploration. This survey, mapped by the Army Map Service, captures the region before the large-scale industrial shifts that would later transform parts of the North Slope.
