1955 Map of Harrison Bay A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Colville River meanders through a landscape defined by water and oil exploration in this mid-century survey of the North Slope. Near the northern boundary, the settlement of Nuiqsut sits adjacent to the Nechelik Channel, served by a local Landing Strip. The map illustrates the early infrastructure of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, including a solitary Oil Well and communication points like Relays. To the east, the Itkillik River winds through a dense network of lakes and marshes, joining the primary river system. This document reflects a period when indigenous settlement and resource exploration began to leave a permanent mark on the Arctic coastal plain, evidenced by the scattered presence of a Cabin and remote landmarks like Kinik.
