About this map

Point Barrow marks the northernmost extent of this 1945 survey, where the coastal settlement of Barrow and the village of Nuwuk stand at the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Compiled from aerial photography taken during the final summer of World War II, the map documents a landscape defined by an intricate network of thaw lakes and coastal features, including Elson Lagoon and the Plover Islands. The interior is dominated by the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the era's strategic focus on northern energy resources.
