1955 Map of Flaxman Island

About this map

Flaxman Island and the coastal barrier chain of the Stockton Islands stand at the edge of the Beaufort Sea in this mid-century survey of Alaska's North Slope. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Arctic National Wildlife Range to the Arctic Ocean, marked by a series of points and bays including Bullen Pt and Camden Bay. Inland, the braided paths of the Canning River and Staines River dominate the drainage basin, indicating a terrain of complex glacial and alluvial activity.
