1970 Map of Beechey Point A-3 NW

About this map

Put River State No 1 stands as a focal point of industrial activity on this orthophotomap of the Alaska North Slope, reflecting the early exploration and infrastructure development of the Prudhoe Bay region. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of thaw lakes and the meandering course of the Putuligayuk River, which cuts across the tundra. This map captures a pivotal moment when seasonal transportation routes were essential for navigating the Arctic terrain, evidenced by the long Winter Trail stretching across the permafrost. The use of aerial photography from June 1970 provides a detailed visual record of the surface hydrology and the emerging footprint of energy extraction before the full-scale expansion of permanent roads and facilities.
