1970 Map of Beechey Point B-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Gwydyr Bay and the narrow barrier chains of the Return Islands dominate this coastal survey of Alaska's North Slope, taken just as the region's industrial infrastructure was emerging. This orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic data to show a transitional landscape where the Beaufort Sea meets the marshy delta. Coastal outposts like Kup Delta Camp and Point Storkersen Camp sit alongside newer developments including the Point Mcintyre Landing Strip and a Pumping Station.
