1955 Map of Umiat B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Colville River flows across the southern portion of this Arctic landscape, serving as a primary corridor through the North Slope region. This 1955 survey by the U.S. Army Topographic Command documents a vast drainage network where the Kikiakrorak River and Prince Creek meander through complex topographical elevations. A significant administrative line, the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 Boundary, bisects the area, highlighting the era's strategic focus on northern resource management. Beyond the riverbanks, a solitary Winter Trail cuts across the terrain, indicating the seasonal transportation routes essential for traversing this environment before modern infrastructure. These paths often followed natural features like Rainy Creek and Fossil Creek, providing critical links for exploration and transport in a region defined by its hydrography.
