1959 Map of Barter Island

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Barter Island and the neighboring coastal lagoons of the Beaufort Sea are captured here in the late 1950s, a period when this remote Arctic shoreline was undergoing survey for navigation and land management. The settlement of Kaktovik sits prominently on the island's northern edge, while nearby Elupak (Site) and various ruins suggest the older habitation patterns of the region. The landscape is defined by a complex network of spits and entrances, including Bernard Spit and the Kuvritovik Entrance, which protected the shallow waters of Arey Lagoon and Kaktovik Lagoon.
