1973 Map of Barrow B-4
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Point Barrow marks the northernmost tip of this survey, where the Arctic Ocean meets the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea. The landscape is dominated by complex hydrology, including the vast Elson Lagoon and numerous thermokarst bodies like Footprint Lake and Imikpuk Lake. Infrastructure focused on scientific and military presence is evident at the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory and the Air Force Radar Site. Settlement patterns are concentrated at Barrow and Browerville, supported by the Wiley Post - Will Rogers Memorial Airport. Inland, a network of tractor trails and winter trails connect remote resource points such as Gas Well No 4 and the Avak Test Hole, illustrating the logistical challenges of Arctic operations in the mid-20th century.
