1964 Map of Wainwright
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Wainwright stands as the primary hub along the Chukchi Sea coast in this mid-1960s Arctic survey, situated near the confluence of the Wainwright Inlet and the Kuk River. The map documents a coastline in transition, noting several former settlements such as Atanik, Pingasagruk, and Akeonik that were marked as abandoned by the time of publication. Inland, the landscape is defined by the vast Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 and a network of braided rivers including the Kungok River and Ivisaruk River. A notable Winter Trail snakes across the tundra, providing a vital connection between isolated points like Tunalik and Kilimantavi. Near the western edge, Icy Cape and the Blossom Shoals provide critical maritime context for the waters bordering Kasegaluk Lagoon.
