1955 Map of Mount Michelson D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Camden Bay and the coastal waters of Simpson Cove define this remote northern landscape as it appeared during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a transitional period for the North Slope, where the Arctic National Wildlife Range spans much of the interior south of the shoreline. A Wildlife Boundary cuts through the coastal plain, marking the early protected status of these grounds. Along the coast, small human outposts such as Katak and Collinson Point appear alongside scattered structures like Maybell and a Tower. A primitive transportation network is represented by a Tractor Trail that winds across the tundra near the Katakturuk River. This survey captures the region's geography before significant industrial development, focusing on the drainage patterns of Marsh Creek and Carter Creek as they flow north toward the Beaufort Sea.
