1955 Map of Barter Island A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Beaufort Sea dominates this mid-century survey, meeting the coastal tundra along the northern edge of the North Slope Borough. The landscape is characterized by the complex interaction of land and water at Pokok Lagoon, where Pokok Creek drains into the arctic waters. This coastal zone is part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, preserving a remote environment where human presence is marked only by sparse Cabins and a network of Winter Trails. These trails provide a rare glimpse into the seasonal transport patterns of the era, long before modern permanent infrastructure. The map represents a detailed study of the shoreline as it existed in 1955, capturing the intricate hydrography of the Alaskan arctic coast prior to significant later developments.
