1962 Map of Beechey Point A-1
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Tigvariak Island and the intricate coastal geometry of Foggy Island Bay dominate this coastal survey of the North Slope. Published in the early 1960s from mid-century photogrammetric data, the map reveals a landscape defined by water and permafrost, where the Kuparuk River and Shaviovik River meet the Beaufort Sea. Human presence is sparse but specific, marked by survival infrastructure like Shelter Cabins and a lone Lookout Tower on the coast.
