2020 Map of Barrow A-2 SW

About this map

Admiralty Bay dominates the coastal reaches of this Arctic landscape in the North Slope Borough, where the intricate shoreline reveals the shifting nature of the Alaskan coast. The map illustrates a sparse but ecologically complex environment defined by expansive wetlands and coastal inlets. Offshore, the Kikiktak Islands and the aptly named Tiny Island sit within the shallow waters, providing essential landmarks for navigation and local history. Inland, the presence of Reindeer Lake suggests the vital freshwater resources that have historically supported wildlife and subsistence patterns in this high-latitude region. The systematic grid of townships, such as t20n r14w, provides a structural contrast to the organic forms of the lagoons and islands that define this remote maritime boundary.
