1955 Map of Teshekpuk B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates the northwest corner of this 1955 survey of Alaska's North Slope, a landscape defined by an intricate network of thaw lakes and the meandering course of Kealok Creek. The terrain reveals the logistical footprint of mid-century Arctic exploration within the National Petroleum Reserve, marked by a Tractor Trail and a primary Field Camp. Small named locations such as Olak, Aval, and Audrey punctuate the tundra, likely serving as survey benchmarks or temporary outposts during the photogrammetric mapping process by the Army Map Service. In the south, the Pik Dunes provide a distinct topographic contrast to the surrounding marshy lowlands. This map captures the region in a transitional period of geological study, documenting remote sites like Dim and Iris before later industrial shifts altered the surface of the North Slope.
