1955 Map of Mount Michelson D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Camden Bay on the Beaufort Sea marks the northern extent of this 1955 survey, where the icy waters meet the North Slope of Alaska. The landscape is dominated by the Arctic National Wildlife Range, a protected wilderness defined by its complex drainage systems. Braided waterways including the Tamayariak River, the Katakturuk River, and the Nularvik River flow northward across the tundra, creating a shifting network of gravel bars and seasonal channels. Evidence of human presence is sparse in this era, limited to a solitary Cabin and a faint Trail crossing the northern flats. This map provides a clear record of the coastline before major industrial shifts, showing the natural shoreline of the Arctic coast as it existed in the mid-1950s.
