1970 Map of Beechey Point B-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Gwydyr Bay and the coastal fringes of the Beaufort Sea appear here at the dawn of the North Slope's industrial transformation. The landscape is defined by its transition from the tundra to the shallow waters of the Arctic, shielded by a string of barrier features including the Return Islands, Egg Island, and Stump Island. On the mainland, the map documents the early infrastructure of the oil era, specifically the North Prudhoe State 1 site and a Pumping Station. These industrial landmarks stand in contrast to older human footprints, such as Cabins (Ruins) near Point McIntyre. The presence of the Winter Trail and seasonal outposts like Kup Delta Camp highlights the specialized transportation and habitation required for this environment during the early 1970s. This orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic data to show the intricate network of thermokarst lakes and drainages surrounding Point Storkersen.
