1962 Map of Harrison Bay B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 dominates this landscape of the North Slope, where the intricate hydrology of the Arctic coastal plain meets the Beaufort Sea. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of lakes and meandering waterways, including the Fish Creek and the Ublutuoch River, which flow northward toward the shallow waters of Harrison Bay. A solitary Winter Trail cuts across the tundra, indicating the seasonal nature of transportation and resource exploration in this remote region during the late 1950s. The map captures a transition point in the Arctic, where federal land designations and the natural flow of the Kiyaktuakoch River define the boundary between industrial interest and the raw Alaskan wilderness.
