2018 Map of Barter Island A-4 SW

About this map

Martin Point serves as a prominent landmark along the northern coastline of the North Slope, where the land meets the cold waters of the Beaufort Sea. This coastal landscape is defined by the braided path of the Jago River, which flows northward through expansive wetlands into the protected waters of Jago Lagoon. To the east, the barrier islands and shoreline form Tapkaurak Lagoon, illustrating the dynamic interplay between the Arctic river systems and the sea. The map reveals a nearly untouched wilderness where the shifting channels of the river and the complex shoreline of the lagoons dominate the terrain, offering a clear record of the hydrography of this remote region.
