1955 Map of Wainwright B-5 and B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Icy Cape juts into the Chukchi Sea along this northern Alaskan coastline, defining the boundary between the open ocean and the sheltered waters of Kasegaluk Lagoon. The area is characterized by a dynamic system of sand bars and shoals, including the submerged hazards of Blossom Shoals and the narrow Icy Cape Pass. This mid-century survey captures the region as a frontier of both subsistence and energy exploration, noting the indefinite boundaries of Naval Petroleum Reserve No 4.
