1955 Map of Umiat D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Itkillik River dominates this portion of the North Slope, weaving a complex path of oxbows and meanders through a landscape saturated with unnamed lakes and ponds. This 1955 survey by the Army Map Service and the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a territory largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure, focusing instead on the intricate hydrography and varying elevations of the tundra. The river's winding course indicates a mature fluvial system cutting through a relatively flat Arctic plain, where seasonal drainage patterns are clearly defined by the numerous water bodies and marshy depressions. While no settlements are indicated, the map provides an exacting record of the natural topography and township boundaries, including the intersection of T. 8 N. and T. 7 N., before significant industrial shifts reached this part of the Alaskan interior.
