1955 Map of Sagavanirktok C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Kavik River and Juniper Creek carve through this North Slope landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where seasonal transit was essential. Based on 1955 aerial photography and field annotation, the map documents a sparse but deliberate network of transportation, most notably the Winter Trail which provided critical passage across the frozen tundra. A small cluster of Cabins situated near the confluence of local drainages suggests a point of temporary shelter or a base for early resource exploration in this remote portion of the Alaskan interior. The reliance on Trail networks and seasonal waterways highlights the challenges of movement across the permafrost and hills before more permanent infrastructure reached this part of the borough.
