1955 Map of Umiat B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The remote settlement of Umiat serves as a focal point in this 1955 survey of the North Slope, situated at a strategic bend of the Colville River. This area is characterized by its role within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the mid-century push for Arctic resource exploration. The landscape is defined by prominent topographical features such as Umiat Mountain and the steep Shivugak Bluff, which overlook the river valley. The presence of the Umiat Airfield and numerous Winter Trail routes indicates the seasonal and aviation-dependent nature of transport in this roadless wilderness. Notable water bodies including Umiat Lake and the Kutchik River meander through the tundra, while the Umiat Meridian provides the foundational surveying line for this vast Alaskan interior.
