1970 Map of Beechey Point B-2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Point Brower anchors this 1970 orthophotomap of Alaska’s North Slope, where the complex braids of the Sagavanirktok River delta meet the Beaufort Sea. This specific edition combines aerial photography taken in June 1970 with topographic data, capturing the interface of land and water just as industrial interest in the region was intensifying. Along the shoreline of Foggy Island Bay, researchers can find evidence of earlier habitation or seasonal use marked by Cabins (Ruins) and a solitary Tank. The landscape is characterized by its seasonal transport routes, including a Winter trail that crosses the frozen terrain. The map provides a precise view of the shifting channels of the delta, reflecting the environmental conditions of the early seventies before extensive infrastructure development altered the coastal profile.
