The Beaufort Sea coastline along the North Slope is defined by shifting barrier landforms and maritime passages in this 2018 survey. The map highlights the narrow Jago Spit, a prominent coastal feature that partially shelters the inner waters from the open sea. Nearby, the navigable Jago Entrance and Tapkaurak Entrance provide critical access points through the barrier system, reflecting the dynamic nature of this Arctic shoreline. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the boundaries of t9n r34e, t9n r35e, and t9n r36e. This data provides a detailed look at the interface between the Alaskan tundra and the sea before more recent coastal erosion began to significantly alter these landforms.
