1955 Map of Harrison Bay D-5

About this map

Esook Trading Post stands as a solitary human marker on this mid-century survey of the Arctic coastline. Located on the edge of Pogik Bay, the post served as a vital hub for trade and communication in a landscape dominated by the interconnected lagoons and low-lying marshes of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The terrain is defined by its transition from the shallow waters of the Beaufort Sea to a coastal plain saturated with unnamed lakes and ponds, illustrating the complex hydrology of the North Slope. Early industrial interest in the region's sub-surface resources is evidenced by the presence of Cape Halkett No 1 Well in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Geographic markers such as Pogik Point and Cameron Point delineate the irregular shoreline, providing essential navigation points for maritime travel along the continental slope before the era of modern development.
