1955 Map of Harrison Bay C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Harrison Bay and the Beaufort Sea dominate this mid-century coastal survey of Alaska's North Slope. The shoreline is defined by the protrusion of Atigaru Point, which separates the open sea from the shallower waters of the bay. In the interior, the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska encompasses a landscape marked by numerous small lakes, ponds, and marshy terrain labeled as Mud. A lone Drill Hole near the coast provides a clear indicator of early industrial exploration in this Arctic region during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates the specialized hydrographic data of the era, focusing on coastal depth soundings and the intricate, shifting nature of the shoreline where land meets the Arctic waters.
