1955 Map of Beechey Point A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River Delta dominates this mid-1950s landscape, where complex braided channels meet the Arctic waters of Foggy Island Bay. This remote section of the North Slope, mapped by the Army Map Service, illustrates a vast network of thaw lakes and coastal wetlands before the era of intensive resource development. The Sagavanirktok River and its Main Channel flow north toward the Beaufort Sea, while the Kadleroshilik River carves its own path through the tundra to the east. A lone Winter Trail provides the only evidence of overland passage, reflecting the seasonal nature of movement in this environment where land and water shift with the freeze and thaw.
