1955 Map of Harrison Bay C-4

About this map

The Kogru River meanders through the marshy lowlands of the North Slope, eventually emptying into the wide expanse of Harrison Bay and the Beaufort Sea. This mid-century survey documents a remote landscape within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a region defined more by its intricate hydrology and coastal features than by permanent settlements. The map highlights key points of human activity in an otherwise austere environment, such as the Landing Strip and the coastal marker at Kogru E Base.
