1955 Map of Teshekpuk C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates this Arctic landscape, its massive expanse and intricate, fragmented shoreline defining the region's geography. Published during the mid-century, the map records a wilderness of thaw lakes and braided drainage patterns within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. The complex hydrology is anchored by the Miguakiak River, which winds through a dense network of smaller bodies of water like Imakruak Lake. This 1955 survey captures the North Slope before significant modern infrastructure reached these latitudes, showing an environment shaped entirely by permafrost and seasonal changes. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the extreme isolation of the area during the early Cold War era of resource exploration.
