1955 Map of Flaxman Island A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape where the Canning River and Tamayariak River delta into the Beaufort Sea. Photogrammetric data from the mid-1950s reveals a complex network of coastal lagoons and mud flats along Camden Bay. While the interior remains largely a wilderness of unnamed lakes and wetlands, human presence is marked by isolated landmarks such as Canning and Walker, alongside simple Cabins near Konganevik Point. This area reflects a period of early surveying within the North Slope Borough, where access was primarily limited to seasonal Tractor Trails. The map captures the delicate transition between the tundra and the sea before modern industrial footprints expanded across the North Slope.
