1955 Map of Harrison Bay C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Beaufort Sea waters dominate this coastal survey, where the frozen horizon of the Arctic meets the low-lying shoreline of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of coastal mudflats and seasonal wetlands that transition into the shallow expanse of Harrison Bay. A single Well on the mainland suggests early industrial interest in this remote territory during the mid-1950s, a period before significant infrastructure arrived on the North Slope. Significant geographical markers like Atigaru Point provide critical reference points for navigating this feature-sparse coastline, where the interaction between the sea and the coastal plain is constantly reshaped by the elements.
