Arey Island and the shallow waters of Arey Lagoon dominate this coastal section of the North Slope, where the land meets the Beaufort Sea. This 2018 survey documents a dynamic arctic shoreline defined by shifting barrier islands and narrow tidal openings like the Kuuritovik Entrance. Inland, the geography is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and tundra ponds, with the Okpilak River meandering toward the coast along the western boundary. The map provides a precise record of the hydrological patterns and township boundaries within T9N and T8N as they existed during the early 21st century, offering essential data for those studying the environmental changes of the Alaskan arctic coast.
