1955 Map of Harrison Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4 dominates this stretch of the Arctic coast, where the vast, water-rich landscape is defined by an intricate network of deltas and thousands of tundra lakes. The map details the complex confluence of the Colville River and the Kuparik River as they feed into Harrison Bay, revealing a labyrinth of tidal passages including the Kppigruak Channel and Elaktovach Channel. This mid-century view documents the region's geography just as modern exploration began to intensify, capturing the location of the Esook Trading Post (Aband) near Cape Halkett and a solitary Cabin to the east.
