2017 Map of Beechey Point A-1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Tigvariak Island sits prominently within the shallow waters of Stefansson Sound, a stark landscape of the Arctic coast where land and water blur through extensive wetlands and barrier formations. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a remote stretch of the North Slope, revealing a complex hydrological network dominated by the Shaviovik River as it empties into the Beaufort Sea. The inclusion of Badami Airport in the southeastern corner highlights the sparse but critical transportation infrastructure required for industrial and research activities in this environment. Defined by the transition between Mikkelsen Bay and the open sea, the area features low-lying landmarks such as Lion Point and Reliance Point, which serve as essential navigational markers along a coastline shaped by shifting ice and seasonal melt.
