USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Point Hope sits at the tip of a prominent triangular gravel spit, serving as the primary hub for this remote stretch of the Alaskan coast during the mid-1950s. The landscape is a transition between the Chukchi Sea and the jagged topography of the Lisburne Peninsula. Cultural history is visible in the remnants of former habitations and industrial attempts, such as the Jabbertown (Ruins) and the Corwin Mine located near Corwin Bluff.
