1955 Map of Sagavanirktok D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Kadleroshilik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, its braided channels and complex oxbows dominating the western half of the territory. This 1955 survey, compiled from aerial photographs by the Army Map Service, documents a vast, marshy plain defined by countless small ponds and thermokarst lakes. To the east, the Shaviovik River flows northward toward the Beaufort Sea, while the presence of a Winter Trail provides a singular trace of human passage through this environment. The map reflects a moment in the mid-1950s when the region remained largely unsurveyed on the ground, with land lines representing predetermined but unmarked locations according to the Bureau of Land Management.
