1952 Map of Point Hope D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Corwin Mine stands as a focal point of human activity on this coastal survey, situated near the dramatic Corwin Bluff where the northern landscape meets the Arctic Ocean. In the early 1950s, this area of the North Slope was defined by its drainage systems and coastal landforms, with the Ayugatak Lagoon and Ayugatak Hills anchoring the western edge of the sheet. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways including Kukruk Creek and Nigiktlik Creek, which flow north toward the Chukchi Sea. The inland topography is marked by significant elevations such as Kitkonak Hill and North Aluk Hill, while the Nitlik River cuts through the southeastern quadrant. This survey, compiled from aerial photography, documents the industrial footprint of the mine and the natural orientation of the Sapumik Ridge during a period of remote arctic exploration.
