1955 Map of Harrison Bay C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The arctic coast of the North Slope appears as a complex network of thaw lakes and coastal inlets where the Kogru River meets the shallow waters of Harrison Bay. This mid-century environment is defined by its seasonal mobility, centered on a prominent Winter Trail and a remote Landing Strip that provided essential access to the region. Human presence in this isolated landscape is marked by several specific locations, including Saktuina Point, a cluster of Ruins, and a Memorial near the coast. The offshore Eskimo Islands and surveying points like Kogru E Base illustrate the technical efforts to chart this shifting interface between the Beaufort Sea and the tundra. Scattered across the land are family or individual names such as Fred, Evelyn, Pete, and Lulu, which likely denote seasonal camps or points of local significance known to the Arctic residents and surveyors of the time.
