1955 Map of Harrison Bay B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Colville River Delta dominates this mid-century Arctic landscape, where a complex network of waterways meets the shallow waters of Harrison Bay. The area is characterized by its intricate hydrology, including the Nechelik Channel and Kachemach River, which wind through a terrain of low-lying tundra and countless small ponds. Within the western portion of the sheet lies the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a designation that reflects the region's strategic energy importance. Human presence is sparse, marked only by isolated Cabins near the channels and prominent coastal landmarks like Tolaktovut Point and Anajuk Point. Unique geographical features such as Kachemach Mound and Oil Lake stand out as notable landforms in this remote coastal environment, surveyed just as Arctic exploration was intensifying.
