1970 Map of Beechey Point B-2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The delta of the Sagavanirktok River meets the cold waters of the Beaufort Sea in this northern coastal survey. The orthophotomap imagery highlights the braided river channels and the countless islands that shift with the seasons. Along the shoreline, Point Brower provides a rare point of elevation overlooking Foggy Island Bay. A small industrial footprint is evident at this location, marked by a Tank and the site of Cabins (Ruins), suggesting the seasonal or temporary nature of habitation in the North Slope Borough during this era. The landscape is defined by its transition between land and water, with a Winter trail cutting across the tundra, providing a seasonal transit route when the ground is frozen. This 1970 snapshot records the environment just as modern infrastructure was beginning to touch the furthest reaches of the Alaskan coast.
