2020 Map of Barrow A-3 NW

About this map

Lake Tusikvoak anchors the southern expanse of this Arctic coastal landscape, where the flat tundra of the North Slope meets the complex inlet systems of the Beaufort Sea. The terrain is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and wetlands, characteristic of the permafrost-underlain coastal plain. Moving north, the meandering Avak Creek feeds into the sheltered waters of Avak Bay, which is protected from the open sea by narrow landforms including Scott Point. To the east, the map reveals the western reaches of Iko Bay, illustrating a shoreline in constant flux. This 2020 survey provides a detailed look at the hydrographic patterns of the region, showing how these vital water bodies and coastal features shape the remote Alaskan environment within the North Slope Borough.
