1970 Map of Beechey Point B-2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River Delta emerges as a complex web of braided channels and low-lying landforms where the river meets the Beaufort Sea. This 1970 orthophotomap provides a rare visual synthesis of the Arctic coastline during the early years of North Slope industrial development. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Sag Delta No 1 Oil Well and a designated Winter Trail, reflecting the specialized transportation methods required in this environment. Offshore, prominent features like Howe Island, Duck Island, and Anxiety Point define the coastal boundary. The map captures the natural transition from the Sagavanirktok River Channel into the expansive delta, highlighting a landscape defined more by water and ice-affected terrain than by permanent human settlements.
