1955 Map of Barrow B-3
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Elson Lagoon and the barrier landforms of the Plover Islands define this remote coastal stretch of the North Slope during the mid-1950s. The geography is characterized by the narrow Tapkaluk Islands, which separate the lagoon from the open waters of the Beaufort Sea and Arctic Ocean. This region, entirely contained within Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, illustrates the extreme arctic coastline before modern industrial shifts, showing a landscape shaped by seasonal ice and maritime passage.
