1955 Map of Beechey Point B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Kuparuk River delta and the marshy coast of the Beaufort Sea dominate this landscape, reflecting a pivotal era of industrial expansion on the North Slope. Mapped in the mid-1950s with later updates, the area shows the early infrastructure of the Oil Field, marked by numerous Drill Holes and isolated Oil Wells. The terrain is defined by its arctic hydrology, where the Ugnuravik River winds through a complex network of thaw lakes and coastal features like Simpson Lagoon.
