Umiat, located on the scenic Colville River on the central North Slope of Alaska, has a history dating back to 1944 when the Navy first began exploring what is now called the National Petroleum Reserve. Since those early years, Umiat has continued to play an important role as a staging area for oil and gas exploration both east and west of the river. Currently, the Umiat airstrip acts as an alternate to the two main airports at Barrow and Deadhorse. Umiat Camp, under the ownership of UIC UMIAQ, can be contacted for all services, including aircraft refueling.
