1955 Map of Wainwright C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Wainwright sits prominently on the shoreline of the Chukchi Sea in this mid-century coastal survey. The settlement is positioned near a small Cemetery and a Winter Trail that tracks the coastline, reflecting the traditional transit routes of the North Slope. The interior landscape is dominated by the expansive Wainwright Inlet and the mouth of the Kuk River, where land and water merge through features like Tupkak Bar and Sigeakruk Point. Small camps and outposts such as Ikpiligok, Tutolivik, and Akvat dot the riverbanks and coast, signaling seasonal or subsistence use of the tundra. In the hills above Omikmak Creek, a solitary Mine and the Landing Strip near the inlet indicate the emergence of more modern industrial and transport infrastructure within the bounds of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4.
