A totem pole located at the Point Barrow, AK LRRS facility (US Air Force) declares it to be the location of the northernmost totem pole in the world. A fact perhaps proven by the GPS receiver situated atop the totem. Point Barrow is the northernmost inhabited place in the United states, perhaps making this the northernmost roadside attraction. We were pleased to note that in the adjacent sign, which gave distances to various places (a common practice in Barrow since nothing is close), the 2,815 mile distance to Wall Drug was deemed worthy of inclusion.
