1949 Map of Barrow

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Point Barrow and the northernmost reaches of the Alaskan coast are documented here in a 1949 compilation based on aerial photography from the mid-1940s. The settlement of Barrow serves as the primary hub, situated near Barrow Airfield and the Will Rogers and Wiley Post Memorial, marking the site of the famous 1935 aviation tragedy. To the north, the slender spit leads to the historic village site of Nuwuk at the tip of the continent.
