1970 Map of Beechey Point B-4 NE

About this map

Gwydyr Bay and the northern Alaskan coastline are captured here in a transition period for the North Slope, blending topographic detail with early orthophotography. The Kuparuk River delta dominates the landscape, showing a complex network of braided channels and marshes that flow toward the Beaufort Sea. Off the coast, the Return Islands chain, including Long Island and Cottle Island, forms a protective barrier against the arctic waters.
