1970 Map of Beechey Point B-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Point Storkersen and the surrounding coastline of the Beaufort Sea are captured in this 1970 orthophotomap, documenting early industrial infrastructure along Alaska's North Slope. The landscape is characterized by a network of barrier islands including Return Islands, Egg Island, and Stump Island that shelter Gwydyr Bay from the open sea. This edition reflects the nascent stages of energy development in the region, featuring the Point Mcintyre Landing Strip, a Pumping Station, and the North Prudhoe State 1 site. Settlement patterns are purely industrial or temporary, shown through the Kup Delta Camp and Point Storkersen Camp. Away from the modern infrastructure, the map notes several Cabins (Ruins) and a Winter Trail, signifying the older, more transitory human presence on this tundra before the full-scale arrival of oil industry facilities.
