2024 Map of Barter Island A-5 NW

About this map

Beaufort Sea waters dominate this remote coastal landscape along the northern edge of the Alaska territory. The map covers a segment of the Arctic shoreline within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the frozen expanse meets the low-lying coastal plain of the North Slope. Land ownership and surveying divisions are marked by the Public Land Survey System grids for t9n r32e and t9n r33e, which delineate the territory south of the coastline. The stark contrast between the open water and the undeveloped coastal tundra reflects the protected status of this wilderness area at the edge of the continent.
