1955 Map of Flaxman Island A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Canning River and Tamayariak River flow through a maze of coastal lagoons and mudflats into Camden Bay on the edge of the Beaufort Sea. Photogrammetric methods from 1955 reveal a shoreline of transition, where the braided delta of the Canning River splits into numerous channels. Human presence is sparse but distinct, marked by a lonely cabin at Konganevik Point and an isolated Tractor Trail cutting across the permafrost landscape. Named points such as Walker, Canning, Ned, and Lux serve as critical reference landmarks in this coastal wilderness within the Arctic National Wildlife Range. This 1950s survey documents the hydrography and terrain of the North Slope just before the era of intensive resource exploration, showing a landscape defined by seasonal flow and the influence of the Arctic ice.
