About this map

Point Barrow marks the northernmost tip of the United States on this mid-century survey, where the Arctic Ocean meets the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea. The settlement of Barrow serves as the focal point of the coastline, flanked by Browerville and several lagoons such as Isatkoak Lagoon and Middle Salt Lagoon. This era shows significant strategic and scientific expansion in the high arctic, including the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory and the Barrow Air Force Radar Site situated near North Salt Lagoon.
