1962 Map of Flaxman Island A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Hulahula River and Okpilak River flow into the Arctic waters shown here, illustrating a remote coastline defined by shifting deltas and offshore shoals. Compiled from 1950s aerial photography and coastal hydrography, this area shows a landscape largely untouched by permanent settlement, with Anderson Point providing one of the few named landmarks along the Camden Bay shoreline. A notable Tractor Trail cuts across the tundra parallel to the coast, indicating the difficult nature of overland transport in this northern environment before more permanent infrastructure. Waterways like the Katakturuk River and Nularvik River snake through the coastal plain, feeding into the Beaufort Sea near features such as Arey Island. The map records essential hydrographic data for navigators, including depth soundings and the locations of extensive sand shoals.
