About this map

Trinity Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the interface of land and water is defined by extensive energy extraction and small-scale community landmarks. Large-scale underwater operations are evident in the Trinity Bay Oil Field, Fishers Reef Oil Field, and Umbrella Point Oil Field, with numerous gas wells and drill holes scattered across the bay floor. Along the shoreline, local life centers on the Tri-City Beach Road corridor, featuring the Tri-City Beach Mission and Trinity Bay Ch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate legacy family sites such as the Barrow Cem near Pt Barrow and the Fisher Cem further south. The recreational character of the shore is preserved through McCollum County Park, Optimist Camp, and Camp Trinity Bay. This map reveals a mid-century landscape where industrial petroleum development sits directly alongside small community churches and traditional family burial grounds.
