1971 Map of Sagavanirktok C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

White Hills dominates the central terrain of this North Slope landscape, rising above the complex drainage patterns of the Toolik River. The map, based on aerial photography from 1970, depicts a remote wilderness defined by seasonal infrastructure rather than permanent settlements. Transport through this arctic environment relied heavily on the Winter Trail, which cuts across the tundra and marshes to connect isolated points. The presence of a Landing Strip and multiple Drill Holes points to early industrial exploration and resource survey efforts in the region. Small elevation markers or localized terrain features carry personal names like Clara and Susie, providing unique landmarks in an otherwise repeating landscape of ponds and streams. This survey provides a baseline of the regional topography before significant modern development altered the North Slope's accessibility.
