Beaufort Sea coastal wetlands dominate this Arctic landscape along the northern edge of the North Slope Borough. The map captures a fragile transition zone where the Arctic Ocean meets a complex network of lagoons and barrier islands. Inland, the freshwater Sinclair Lake sits amidst a saturated tundra environment defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t19n r11w, t20n r11w, and t21n r11w. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the maritime environment and the low-lying coastal plains of the Alaskan far north, showing the shoreline as it existed before further seasonal erosion or shifting.
