1955 Map of Harrison Bay A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Fish Creek meanders across this Arctic landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and marshy lowlands typical of the North Slope. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the terrain is defined by a dense concentration of thermokarst lakes and ponds, illustrating the permafrost-driven hydrology of the region before modern industrial development. The intricate drainage patterns of Judy Creek and its tributaries reveal a landscape governed by seasonal shifts, where water dominates the geography. As an unsurveyed and unmarked territory at the time of mapping, the land lines provided by the Bureau of Land Management serve as a theoretical grid over a wilderness essentially untouched by permanent settlements or roads.
