1955 Map of Teshekpuk B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The southeast reaches of Teshekpuk Lake dominate the northwestern corner of this mid-century survey, situated within the bounds of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. The landscape is a complex mosaic of thermokarst lakes and meandering waterways, most notably the winding path of Kealok Creek as it drains northward. Human presence is sparse, marked by small outposts like Field Camp and Audrey, which suggest the era's focus on geological and petroleum exploration in the Arctic. To the south, the Pik Dunes provide a distinct contrast to the water-saturated tundra. Movement across this thawing ground is evidenced by a network of paths, including a designated Tractor Trail and a more general Trail, showing how surveyors and explorers navigated the North Slope before more permanent infrastructure arrived.
