2016 Map of Barrow A-1 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Sinclair River flows through this coastal section of the North Slope, draining into a complex system of arctic wetlands and inlets. The map illustrates a landscape dominated by the transition from land to sea, where the Beaufort Sea meets protected coastal waters like Fatigue Bay and Admiralty Bay. The hydrology of this region is characterized by numerous unnamed thaw lakes and ponds typical of the permafrost environment, with Sinclair Lake standing as one of the few named freshwater bodies in the interior. This 2016 survey documents the exact shoreline configuration of McKay Inlet and the surrounding coastal plains, providing a precise record of the seasonal water patterns and coastal geography at the northern edge of the continent.
