1955 Map of Wainwright A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Kasegaluk Lagoon dominates the northwestern corner of this 1955 survey, highlighting the coastal hydrology of the North Slope within the former Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. Flowing through the center and south, the Omorakvik River and Tunalik River drain toward the Kuk River, creating a complex network of wetlands and thaw lakes. This remote landscape shows early traces of human presence and infrastructure, marked by a Radio Tower and the specialized Nevat-Alerk Az landmark. A prominent Tractor Trail cuts across the southern terrain, providing a rare indicator of mid-century overland transport in an area where frozen waterways often served as the primary routes for transit and exploration.
