2018 Map of Barter Island A-3 SW

About this map

Beaufort Sea waters dominate the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the Arctic shoreline meets a network of low-lying wetlands. The landscape is defined by the transition from the open sea into the protected waters of Pokok Lagoon, a significant coastal feature that buffers the mainland from the pack ice and waves of the north. Inland, the hydrology is shaped by the wandering path of Pokok Cr, which drains into the lagoon across a flat coastal plain. This 2018 data reflects the modern shoreline and township boundaries of t8n r37e and t8n r38e, documenting the intersection of sea and land in a region where shifting ice and seasonal melt dictate the character of the terrain.
