2020 Map of Barrow A-5 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Utqiaġvik marks the northern extent of this coastline along the Chukchi Sea, where the Arctic landscape transitions from open water to a dense network of wetlands and thaw lakes. The shoreline is punctuated by prominent coastal features like Point Shadden, which guards the entrance to the recessed waters of Walakpa Bay. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern topography of the North Slope, defined by the intricate hydrology of the tundra and the maritime influence of the high Arctic. The map highlights the vast stretches of unnamed water bodies and saturated ground that characterize the region, showing how the land meets the sea at one of the northernmost points of the United States.
