1970 Map of Beechey Point B-2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Point Brower projects into the cold waters of the Beaufort Sea on this orthophotomap, showing the Arctic coastline just as industrial interest was intensifying in the North Slope region. The landscape is dominated by the intricate delta of the Sagavanirktok River, where braided channels meet the Foggy Island Bay. A small human footprint is evident at the tip of the point, marked by a single Tank and the remains of Cabins (Ruins), suggesting earlier coastal habitation or seasonal use. Away from the shore, the map identifies a Winter trail, a critical infrastructure element in a region where travel is often dictated by the freezing of the tundra. This document serves as a specialized record of the transition from traditional coastal sites to modern resource exploration footprints during the early 1970s.
