2017 Map of Beechey Point A-2 NE

About this map

Beaufort Sea waters meet the low-lying coastal plains of Alaska's North Slope in this 2017 study. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, thaw lakes, and tidal flats where the Kadleroshilik River winds toward its mouth at the coast. The geography is dominated by the transition from terrestrial tundra to the marine environment of Foggy Island Bay, a sheltered area protected by the small landform of Foggy Island. This region illustrates the specialized hydrologic patterns of the Arctic, characterized by numerous small, unnamed ponds and the shifting gravel bars of braided river channels as they approach the sea. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries, including t10n r17e and t9n r18e, which organize this largely uninhabited territory.
