1955 Map of Flaxman Island

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Leffingwell Camp National Historical Site stands as a notable landmark on the western tip of Flaxman Island, documenting early 20th-century exploration along the edge of the Beaufort Sea. This coastal landscape is defined by the braided outlets of the Canning River and Staines River, which flow north through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge into the sea. The map records a transition toward industrial exploration, indicated by a Drill Hole and Radio Beacon located near Bullen Pt. Navigational access points like Mary Sachs Entrance and Challenge Entrance separate the mainland from the Maguire Islands and Stockton Islands. Transportation in this era relied on a long Tractor Trail that skirts the southern edge of Camden Bay, providing a vital link between isolated camps and coastal points.
