1955 Map of Wainwright A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Arctic coastal plain on the North Slope of Alaska is defined here by a dense network of thaw lakes and meandering watercourses as they appeared in the mid-1950s. The landscape transitions from the brackish waters of Kasegaluk Lagoon and Avak Inlet to an interior dominated by significant freshwater bodies like Sikolik Lake. The western portion of the map is marked by the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 Boundary (Indefinite), signifying the strategic resource management of the era.
