1971 Map of Umiat A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Itkillik River meanders across this northern landscape, defining the western drainage of a region characterized by vast swampy lowlands and complex hydrologic patterns. To the east, the Kuparuk River follows a parallel course through the tundra, with both waterways showing the characteristic braided and shifting channels of the Arctic slope. A solitary Landing Strip situated along the Itkillik River serves as the primary evidence of human infrastructure in this remote area. Mapped via aerial photography taken in 1970 and field-annotated in 1971, the survey captures the terrain just as northern resource exploration was intensifying. The map highlights the seasonal nature of the landscape, noting that swamps portray only the wetter areas of low relief as interpreted from the 1970 photography.
