USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The coastal village of Wainwright serves as the primary outpost on this North Slope coastline, where the Chukchi Sea meets the expansive Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4. This mid-century survey documents a landscape of shifting barrier islands and sprawling lagoons, most notably Kasegaluk Lagoon and the intricate waters of Wainwright Inlet. The settlement pattern recorded here shows a transition in Arctic residency, with several localities marked as abandoned, including Atanik, Pingasagruk, and Tolageak.
