1955 Map of Flaxman Island

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Flaxman Island and the neighboring barrier chains of the Beaufort Sea define this northern coastline, surveyed in the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a landscape of immense environmental importance, including the western reaches of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Traces of human presence are sparse but significant, centered on the Leffingwell Camp National Historic Site and the isolated Bullen settlement. A series of intricate coastal waterways, such as Challenge Entrance and Mary Sachs Entrance, navigate between islands like Alaska Island and Duchess Island.
