1955 Map of Harrison Bay D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Beaufort Sea waters meet the low-lying shoreline of northern Alaska in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal ice and shifting silt. The map documents a critical transition in the Arctic coastal environment, centered on the protected waters of Pogik Bay. An Eskimo Trading Post (Abandoned) stands on the eastern shore near Cameron Point, serving as a silent marker of earlier commercial patterns and traditional subsistence routes that once thrived along these reaches. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of unnamed lakes and lagoons, typical of the permafrost-underlain North Slope. Prominent coastal features like Pogik Point provide the only significant landmarks for navigation in an area where land and water frequently intermingle.
