1955 Map of Wainwright A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Avalik River and the Ketik River converge amidst a landscape defined by meandering watercourses and seasonal routes in this mid-century survey of the North Slope. The presence of the Reindeer Service USDI Cabins (abandoned) near the Avalitkok Creek junction provides a specific historical marker of government-managed land use in the Arctic. Several segments of Winter Trail cross the terrain, illustrating the cold-weather transportation network required to navigate between water bodies like Takrak Lake and drainage systems including Irak Creek and Oyagaruk Creek. These trails and cabins reflect a period of administrative and logistical activity within what was then Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, offering researchers a detailed look at the infrastructure that supported remote operations before later developments transformed the region's accessibility.
