1955 Map of Harrison Bay C-4

About this map

The National Petroleum Reserve In Alaska dominates this 1955 survey of the Arctic coastline, where the Kogru River meets the expansive Harrison Bay. This remote landscape is defined by its seasonal transport and sparse human markers, featuring a Winter Trail that cuts across the permafrost and a strategically placed Landing Strip near the river's mouth. The presence of a Drill Hole in the southwest and survey points like Kogru E Base on the Eskimo Islands reflect the era's mid-century focus on energy exploration and geodetic mapping in the Far North.
