1952 Map of Point Hope D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Corwin Mine sits at the northern edge of this coastal landscape, situated near the dramatic Corwin Bluff overlooking the Arctic Ocean. In the early 1950s, this remote stretch of the North Slope was defined by its drainage systems and high coastal ridges. The terrain rises from the Chukchi Sea through the Sapumik Ridge and into the Kitkonak Hill interior. The hydrological network is well-documented, featuring the waters of Ahyougatuk Lake and several significant drainages including Etsook Creek, Nigiktlik Creek, and Tungnak Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the Ahyougatuk Hills and North Alak Hills, documenting the shoreline and topography before significant modern shifts in Arctic infrastructure.
