1955 Map of Harrison Bay B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The vast Colville River Delta dominates this mid-century topographic record of Alaska’s North Slope, where a complex network of channels and distributaries meets the Beaufort Sea. The intricate hydrology of the region is documented through the winding courses of the Kupigruak River and the braided Colville River, which separate to form Anachlik Island and Nuekshat Island. This survey, based on 1955 aerial photography, illustrates a landscape characterized by thousands of small thermokarst lakes and tundra ponds spread across the coastal plain.
