1955 Map of Teshekpuk A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Ikpikpuk River meanders across this expansive Arctic landscape, which was documented during mid-century aerial surveys. This mapping effort by the Army Map Service and the Geological Survey focuses on a segment of the North Slope designated as Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of lakes and ponds typical of the coastal plain, with a prominent natural Mound providing a rare vertical landmark in the otherwise low-lying tundra. Human activity in this 1950s era is marked primarily by a Tractor Trail that cuts through the wilderness, representing the vital overland transport routes used for exploration and resource assessment in this remote region.
