1955 Map of Harrison Bay B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Colville River Delta dominates this Arctic landscape, where a complex network of waterways like the Nechelik Channel and Kupigruak Channel branch out toward the Beaufort Sea. Captured in the mid-1950s, the terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and coastal landforms such as Tolaktovut Point and Anajuk Point. Much of the western portion falls within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, reflecting the strategic industrial interest in the North Slope's resources during the Cold War era. Significant landmarks include the curiously named Oil Lake and Kachemachi Mound, while the southeastern corner is defined by the Kachemach River. The presence of numerous Dunes along the channels suggests an environment of shifting sediments and high winds at the edge of Harrison Bay.
