1971 Map of Umiat B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Braided river channels and Arctic tundra characterize this portion of the North Slope, where the Anaktuvuk River and Itkillik River dominate the landscape. In the early 1970s, this remote territory was mapped with an emphasis on terrain and temporary seasonal transit. The Winter Road and Winter Trail networks provide the only evidence of overland passage, cutting across the low-lying wet areas and around numerous small lakes. Specific topographic elevations bear unique names such as Paruk, Okpik, and Miriam, likely serving as essential orientation points in an otherwise repetitive environment of swamps and small water bodies like Square Lake. The inclusion of a Base Line and unsurveyed land lines reflects the Bureau of Land Management's ongoing efforts to organize these northern territories during a period of increased interest in the region's geography.
