1952 Map of Point Hope A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Chukchi Sea coastline of Alaska's North Slope is captured here during the early 1950s, revealing a landscape defined by coastal lagoons and significant topographical landmarks. Along the Gravel and Coarse Sand Beach north of Cape Thompson, the map identifies Ruins near Kemegrak Lagoon, suggesting early human activity in this remote Arctic environment. Inland, the Kemegrak Hills and Saligvik Ridge rise above a complex network of drainages including Saligvik Creek and Ogotoruk Creek. Notable features such as Chariot (Site) near Crowbill Point reflect mid-century scientific or logistical footprints, while landmarks like Imnakpak Cliff and Inukpak Rock serve as primary orientation points for this stretch of the coast. The absence of roads emphasizes the area's reliance on trails and the natural beach corridor for movement between seasonal points of interest like Artigotrat Spring.
