About this map

Barrow and the adjacent settlement of Browerville sit at the northernmost edge of the United States, where the Chukchi Sea meets the Beaufort Sea. This mid-century survey documents a landscape of strategic and scientific importance, featuring the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory and Pt Barrow Airfield north of the main village. The presence of the Will Rogers and Wiley Post Memorial marks the site of the 1935 aviation tragedy near Walakpa Bay.
