1958 Map of Sagavanirktok

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sagavanirktok River dominates this mid-1970s revision, serving as the central corridor for the Pipeline (Under construction) during its critical development phase. The landscape transition from the coastal plain to the northern foothills is marked by the distinctive White Hills and the prominent heights of Franklin Bluffs. Along this industrial lifeline, isolated outposts like Sagwon and Happy Valley appear alongside aviation infrastructure including a Landing strip. This survey captures the remote northern wilderness at the height of the energy boom, documenting early extraction efforts evidenced by an Oil well and seasonal access routes such as the Winter Trail. Numerous watercourses, including the Ivishak River and Kuparuk River, weave through a terrain dotted with pingos and survey benchmarks, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the North Slope.
