1971 Map of Sagavanirktok C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kadleroshilik River and the Shaviovik River carve through this North Slope landscape, illustrating the remote hydrological patterns of the Alaskan arctic in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and thaw lakes, typical of the permafrost-underlain coastal plain. A prominent Winter Trail meanders across the central tundra, serving as a vital historical transportation corridor during the frozen months when the marshy ground becomes passable for heavy equipment. This transient infrastructure, alongside features like Juniper Creek, highlights the seasonal nature of movement in a region where permanent roads were virtually non-existent during this era of early petroleum exploration.
