1955 Map of Wainwright D-1

About this map

Chukchi Sea coastline and the vast waters of Peard Bay dominate this mid-century survey of the North Slope. The landscape is defined by the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a massive tract established to secure energy resources, which encompasses the winding courses of the Igklo River and Kogrua River. Coastal activity is centered around established sites such as Atanik and Pingasagruk, where the shoreline meets the Arctic waters.
