2017 Map of Beechey Point A-1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

The Kadleroshilik River winds through this expanse of the North Slope, illustrating the braided hydrology characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain. This landscape is defined by its complex network of interconnected wetlands and small water bodies that saturate the tundra. The Shaviovik River and the Kavik River parallel one another as they flow northward toward the Beaufort Sea, their shifting channels documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in this 2017 study. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the region's character as an undeveloped wilderness primarily managed for its natural and subsurface resources. For researchers, the map provides a precise baseline of the shoreline and river morphology before seasonal changes or climatic shifts alter these delicate coastal drainage patterns.
