1955 Map of Barter Island A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Beaufort Sea dominates the northern landscape of this arctic survey, where the frozen coastline meets the waters of the North Slope. Along the shore, the Pokok Lagoon is fed by Pokok Creek, creating a complex maritime environment within the Arctic National Wildlife Range. The presence of Health Cabins and several Ruins suggests a history of seasonal human activity or subsistence living in this challenging climate. Movement through this landscape during the mid-1950s was facilitated by a network of Tractor Trails that hug the coast, providing vital connections between landmarks like David. This map captures a specific moment when terrestrial surveying met photogrammetric methods to document the unsurveyed and unmarked locations of the Umiat Meridian.
