1955 Map of Teshekpuk C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 encompasses this entire expanse of Arctic tundra during the mid-1950s, characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and meandering water systems. Exploration for energy resources is the primary human footprint on this landscape, anchored by the Topagoruk Test Well No 1 and an associated Camp. These remote outposts and transient settlements like Gotuk and Libby were linked by a series of seasonal routes, including a Tractor Trail and Winter Trail, which were essential for navigating the permafrost terrain before permanent infrastructure existed.
