1955 Map of Harrison Bay D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Beaufort Sea coast of northern Alaska is captured here in a 1955 survey, highlighting a landscape defined by the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. This Arctic shoreline, though largely composed of intricate wetlands and unnamed lakes, features isolated outposts of human activity such as the Esook Trading Post located near Cameron Point. The geography reveals a low-lying coastal plain where the land meets Pogik Bay, a region increasingly significant for its resource potential during the mid-20th century. The inclusion of the Cape Halkett No 1 Well in the southeast corner provides a specific marker of early exploration efforts in this remote territory. This sheet serves as a clear record of the intersection between traditional trading routes and the emerging industrial interests of the mid-century Arctic.
