Mile 243 on Atigun Pass Aug 2008
According to Alaska DOT, the average daily volume of traffic is about
200 vehicles when you get up to Prudhoe Bay. North of the Brooks
Range, there is limited traffic, and most
of it consists of commercial
vehicles. As The Milepost and other sources make clear, Prudhoe
Bay / Deadhorse is very much a "company town" -- it focuses on oil
production, transport, and supporting services, and is not set up to
handle a lot of tourists (though there is some
lodging
available). The
population of Prudhoe Bay is approximately 47. The approximate number
of families is 0. The amount of land area in Prudhoe Bay is 89.758 sq.
kilometers. The amount of surface water is 31.272 sq kilometers. The
distance from Prudhoe Bay to Washington DC is 3594 miles. The distance
to the Alaska state capital is 938 miles. (as the crow flies) Prudhoe
Bay is positioned 70.28 degrees north of the equator and 148.37
degrees west of the prime.
