2020 Map of Barrow B-3 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Plover Islands and Tapkaluk Islands form a narrow, shifting barrier chain along the northern coast of Alaska in this modern survey. This thin ribbon of land separates the open waters of the Beaufort Sea from the protected reaches of Elson Lagoon. The landscape is dominated by these dynamic coastal features, including Deadmans Island and Crescent Island, which are subject to the intense maritime forces of the Arctic. The map illustrates the fragile relationship between the ocean and the lagoon system, providing a precise record of the shoreline and maritime boundaries within the North Slope Borough. This specialized view focuses on the remote intersection of the sea and the coastal plain, where shifting sands and tides continuously reshape the land.
