1955 Map of Beechey Point B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Mc Clure Islands and Stockton Islands chain across the southern Beaufort Sea on this mid-century survey. Primarily a hydrographic and coastal study, the map records the delicate barrier island formations that shelter Foggy Island Bay from the open sea. Notable features include Narwhal Island, Jeanette Island, and Karluk Island, which form a natural breakwater. On Pole Island, the mapping of Ruins indicates a previous human presence or structure on these remote shores. This 1950s data, compiled from Army Map Service and USC&GS sources, documents the shoreline and bathymetry through the Newport Entrance before modern industrial developments shifted the landscape of the North Slope.
