1955 Map of Beechey Point C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Simpson Lagoon dominates this 1955 survey of Alaska's northern coast, separated from the open Beaufort Sea by a string of barrier islands. The Jones Islands chain, including Pingok Island and Leavitt Island, protects the shallow inner waters and the mainland shoreline. This era of mapping captured the area just as Arctic exploration intensified, evidenced by the presence of a Landing Strip and specialized surveying markers like West Base and East Base near Oliktok Point. Human activity is sparse but notable, with scattered Cabins and a lone Cabin near Milne Point indicating seasonal habitation or early research outposts in this isolated landscape. Further offshore, the Stamukhi Shoal marks a significant underwater feature within the sea.
