1955 Map of Beechey Point C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The North Slope Borough shoreline meets the high Arctic in this 1950s survey, detailing a landscape defined by shifting barrier islands and shallow coastal waters. The Jones Islands chain, including Pingok Island, Bertoncini Island, and Cottle Island, forms a protective arc between the open Beaufort Sea and the relatively sheltered Simpson Lagoon. This maritime environment is marked by significant underwater features such as Stamukhi Shoal and Cat Shoal, which indicate the complex bathymetry of the Arctic Ocean shelf. The survey provides a precise record of the coastline before major industrial development, capturing the placement of family-named landmarks like Bodfish Island and Bodis Island, alongside prominent coastal markers like Kavearak Point.
