1952 Map of Point Hope C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The remote shoreline where the Arctic Ocean meets the Chukchi Sea dominates this 1952 photogrammetric survey of the Alaska coast. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the sea to the rising highlands, most notably at Enveakgeak (Big Ear Mountain). Coastal navigation is marked by prominent landforms such as Cape Lewis in the north and Cape Dyer further south. The drainage patterns of the interior are recorded through numerous small waterways including Anguulik Creek, Kiliakpuk Creek, and Siniktanneyak Creek, which cut through the terrain to reach the ocean. This chart reflects the desolate character of the North Slope before significant modern infrastructure reached these northern latitudes, focusing on the topography and natural landmarks essential for maritime and aerial orientation.
