1955 Map of Harrison Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Colville River delta dominates this mid-century coastal survey, revealing an intricate network of waterways including the Nechelik Channel and Kupigruak Channel that flow into Harrison Bay. The landscape is a mosaic of tundra and water, punctuated by landmarks like Kachemach Mound and Pikogik Mound. Evidence of early Arctic commerce and settlement is found at the Esook Trading Post (Aban'd) near Pogik Bay, and a remote Cabin situated near Cape Halkett. Large portions of the territory are designated as Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4, highlighting the region's strategic and industrial importance. From the massive Teshekpuk Lake to the offshore Eskimo Islands, the map records a wilderness state before significant modern infrastructure reached these northern reaches of the Beaufort Sea.
