1955 Map of Utukok River C-3

About this map

The Utukok River meanders through this remote Arctic landscape, joined by the Kaolak River in an area characterized by intricate lake systems and tundra drainage. This 1955 survey by the Army Map Service reveals a territory primarily defined by its hydrology and the administrative boundaries of the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. Human activity is sparse, marked only by a Winter Trail cutting across the northern sections and a single Campsite (Abandoned) located near a cluster of unnamed lakes. The map provides a precise view of the drainage patterns and relief before later development or environmental shifts in the region, serving as a foundational record of the Umiat Meridian's unsurveyed land lines as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
