1955 Map of Point Lay B-2 and B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Kasegaluk Lagoon dominates the western edge of this coastal survey, separated from the vast Chukchi Sea by a thin, protective barrier spit. Along this narrow strip of land, the Winter Trail provides a critical travel route through the Arctic landscape. The map captures a significant transition in local settlement at Naokok (Abandoned), which sits near the northern opening of Naokok Pass. Inland, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Kukpowruk River and its tributary, Kuchaurak Creek, as they flow through a network of tundra lakes. This 1955 survey provides an essential record of the North Slope's hydrological patterns and traditional transportation corridors before the impacts of modern infrastructure.
