1955 Map of Harrison Bay C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake and the coastal expanse of the North Slope define this mid-century topographic record, reflecting a landscape dominated by permafrost-driven hydrology. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of thaw lakes and ponds, where the Kogru River meanders toward the Beaufort Sea. A notable feature of the seasonal transportation network is the Winter Trail, which cuts across the tundra and follows portions of Garry Creek, providing a vital overland route when the ground and water bodies are frozen. Along the eastern edge, the waters of Harrison Bay meet the low-lying shoreline. This survey, compiled from 1955 aerial photography, documents the region within the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, capturing the pristine geography of the Arctic coastal plain before significant modern industrial footprints were established.
