1955 Map of Point Hope

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Point Hope juts into the Chukchi Sea at the western edge of the Lisburne Peninsula, anchoring a landscape defined by indigenous maritime heritage and early industrial ventures. This mid-century survey records the concentration of settlement along the spit, including the traditional village of Tigara and the nearby locale of Jabbertown. The coastal geography is marked by several named habitation sites such as Kukpuk and Ogsachak, which suggest historical seasonal use and ancestral locations along the Kukpuk River and the northern shorelines.
