1958 Map of Sagavanirktok

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River dominates this landscape, serving as a corridor for industrial development across the North Slope. Parallel to the river, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the Dalton Highway demonstrate the mid-20th-century infrastructure expansion required for Arctic energy extraction. These modern routes contrast with the numerous instances of a Winter Trail, reflecting older patterns of seasonal travel across the tundra. Pockets of habitation and support appear at Franklin Bluffs and several remote airfields, including the Happy Valley Landing Strip and Sagwon Landing Strip. To the east, the terrain becomes more varied as it enters the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the Ivishak River flows near the Ivishak Hot Springs and through the high ground of Niviak Pass.
