About this map

Barrow and the neighboring settlement of Browerville stand at the northernmost reaches of the American Arctic, situated where the Chukchi Sea meets the Beaufort Sea. This 1955 survey details a landscape defined by the logistics of early Cold War science and resource exploration, featuring the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory and the Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport. The map identifies the tragic 1935 crash site at the Will Rogers and Wiley Post Memorial near Walakpa Bay.
