1952 Map of Point Hope A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Ruins located along the northern coastline of the Chukchi Sea suggest earlier human presence on this remote Arctic landscape. This 1952 topographic study, compiled by the Army Map Service, documents a stark transition from the coastal Gravel and Coarse Sand Beach to the steep elevations of Ahgahyoukuk Mtn and Ahviknuk Mtn. The hydrology of the region is defined by a series of parallel drainages, including Ahgahyoukuk Creek and Oyotoruk Creek, which flow south and west from the interior highlands toward the coast. Significant maritime landmarks like Cape Thompson punctuate the shoreline, where the terrain shifts toward a Gravel and Boulder Beach. The map remains devoid of roads or trails, illustrating the untouched character of the Alaska-Second Judicial Division at mid-century.
