1955 Map of Wainwright A-6 and A-7

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Kasegaluk Lagoon dominates this Arctic coastal landscape, separated from the open Chukchi Sea by a thin, protective barrier of sand and mud. Recorded in the mid-1950s, the map documents a remote stretch of the North Slope where the Utukok River and Avak River empty into the sheltered waters of the lagoon. The geography here is a complex network of thaw lakes and braided river channels, reflecting the dynamic permafrost environment near Icy Cape.
