1955 Map of Beechey Point A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Arctic coastline of the North Slope appears in this mid-century survey as a complex network of braided rivers and seasonal paths. Tigvariak Island dominates the northern shoreline, featuring a Lookout Tower and Lion Point, while marking the boundary between Foggy Island Bay and Mikkelsen Bay. The interior landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of the Shaviovik River and its tributary, the Kavik River, which cut through a terrain dense with thaw lakes and marshland.
