1970 Map of Beechey Point B-3 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Prudhoe Bay dominates this orthophotomap, showing the Arctic coastline during a transformative period for the North Slope. Captured via aerial photography in 1970, the map reveals the intricate network of thaw lakes and braided river channels that define this tundra landscape. The eastern edge is shaped by the wide, multi-channeled Sagavanirktok River, while the smaller Putuligayuk River winds through the wetlands to the west. Near the shore, Gull Island and the Niakuk Islands provide context for the coastal environment. This 1970 snapshot serves as a critical spatial baseline for the region, documenting the land and water patterns of the Alaskan arctic at the dawn of a major industrial era.
