Beaufort Sea waters dominate this 2018 survey of the North Slope's extreme Arctic coastline. The map illustrates a strictly coastal and maritime landscape within the t9n r32e and t9n r33e township boundaries, where the transition from sea to land is defined by a sparse shoreline typical of the Beaufort Sea coast. This specific quadrangle reflects the modern state of the Alaskan maritime frontier, captured by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from SPOT imagery and the National Hydrography Dataset. It is a portrait of a landscape defined by its coordinates rather than human settlements, documenting the precise boundary where the northern edge of the continent meets the Arctic ocean.
