1955 Map of Teshekpuk D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Admiralty Bay and the northern Arctic coast are captured here in the mid-1950s, a period when this region was primarily characterized by its hydrology and the early indicators of its mineral potential. The map details the intricate Meade River Delta and the convergence of the Topagoruk River and Chipp River as they empty into the bay. Significant for the era's energy history, the presence of the Admiralty Oil Seep near the eastern shore points to the resource exploration occurring within what was then Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4.
