1955 Map of Harrison Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Harrison Bay and the northern coastline of the North Slope Borough are shown here as they appeared during a period of transition in the mid-20th century. The landscape is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Colville River delta and the vast expanse of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. This map records the early industrial footprint on the tundra, specifically the emergence of the Kuparuk Oil Field in the east and scattered Oil Wells farther north.
