1955 Map of Utukok River B-5

About this map

The Kokolik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, carving a series of dramatic oxbows and abandoned channels through the North Slope. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a wilderness shaped by permafrost and water, where the river's winding path serves as the primary geographic corridor. To the south, the Kiklupiklak Hills rise above the surrounding drainage basins, providing a topographic anchor in an area otherwise defined by low-lying wetlands and seasonal runoff.
