1970 Map of Beechey Point A-3 NW

About this map

Putuligayuk River meanders across this Arctic coastal landscape, captured during a 1970 aerial survey of the North Slope. This orthophotomap provides a unique visual record of the thaw-lake plains, where the vast network of water bodies and saturated tundra defines the geography. Early industrial activity in the region is marked by Put River State No 1, reflecting the initial stages of resource exploration on state lands. Navigation across this permafrost environment is primarily facilitated by a Winter Trail, a vital transport route that relies on frozen ground for access. The map reveals a landscape largely untouched by permanent infrastructure, dominated by the natural drainage patterns and the seasonal pathways required for movement in the high Arctic.
