1962 Map of Harrison Bay D-5
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 dominates this 1962 Arctic landscape, reflecting a mid-century period of strategic resource exploration along Alaska's northern coast. The sheet details a complex transition from land to water, where the coastal margins of the Beaufort Sea meet a network of lakes and tundra. Key geographic markers such as Pitt Point, Cameron Point, and Pogik Point define the jagged shoreline surrounding Pogik Bay. These sounding and hydrographic details were compiled from 1956 coastal charts and 1955 aerial photography, providing a precise look at the shifting sand bars and gravel spits of the Harrison Bay region during the early Cold War era.
