1984 Map of Utukok River A-1

About this map

Lookout Ridge dominates the central landscape of this North Slope survey, where the vast, unpopulated terrain of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska is meticulously documented. The hydrology of the region is defined by the braided path of the Colville River in the south and Carbon Creek to the north. These waterways serve as the primary landmarks in a territory characterized by complex contour elevations and seasonal wetlands. Evidence of human presence is sparse, appearing only as a solitary Trail crossing the northern tundra, underscoring the remoteness of the region during the early 1980s. The map illustrates the administrative transition between township and range lines across a landscape that remains primarily shaped by the flow of Reynard Creek and other glacial tributaries.
