1955 Map of Demarcation Point D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range spans the southern portion of this mid-century survey, illustrating the raw coastal interface of the Beaufort Sea. Along the North Slope, the landscape is defined by a series of shallow lagoons and protective spits, notably Angun Lagoon and Nuvagapak Lagoon. Human activity in this remote territory is sparse but evident through specific infrastructure such as the Tractor Trail leading toward a landing strip and tower at Nuvagapak Point. This area represents the critical transition between the tundra and the sea, where multiple braided waterways like the Aichilik River and Kogotpak River discharge into the coastal waters. The presence of Ruins and a cabin near Angun Point provides a glimpse into the seasonal or early habitation patterns of the region before more modern infrastructure reached this part of the Alaskan coast.
