1949 Map of Barrow

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Point Barrow and the northernmost reaches of Alaska are captured here just after World War II, based on aerial photography from 1945. The settlement of Barrow serves as the primary hub, situated near the Barrow Airfield and the Will Rogers and Wiley Post Memorial, which commemorates the 1935 aviation tragedy nearby. The landscape is dominated by the intricate network of lakes and lagoons within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the era's strategic focus on arctic resource exploration.
