1955 Map of Beechey Point A-1

About this map

The Arctic coastline of the North Slope is defined by a labyrinth of thermokarst lakes and braided waterways in this mid-century survey. Dominating the hydrography is the Shaviovik River, which bifurcates across a low-lying tundra landscape before emptying into Mikkelsen Bay and Foggy Island Bay. These coastal waters are punctuated by landforms like Tigvariak Island, featuring a prominent Lookout Tower and Reliance Point.
