1962 Map of Beechey Point B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River Delta dominates the southern reaches of this mid-century survey, where the river's complex braided channels meet the icy waters of the Beaufort Sea. This 1962 edition, compiled from 1950s photogrammetric data and coastal hydrography, provides a clear view of the shifting shoreline and barrier islands before the major industrial developments of later decades. The intricate relationship between land and sea is evident in the sprawling mudflats of Foggy Island Bay and the isolated geography of Cross Island and Dinkum Sands.
