1970 Map of Beechey Point B-3 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Prudhoe Bay and the surrounding Arctic tundra are captured here during a pivotal moment of industrial development in 1970. This orthophotomap, based on aerial photography from that June, shows the early infrastructure of the North Slope oil fields, including the Prudhoe Bay Airfield and the emerging Pipeline network. The landscape is dominated by the braided delta of the Sagavanirktok River and the meandering Putuligayuk River, set against the coastal features of Heald Point and the Niakuk Islands.
