2017 Map of Beechey Point A-3 NE

About this map

Prudhoe Bay and the industrial hub of Deadhorse anchor this 2017 survey of Alaska's North Slope, a landscape dominated by braided river channels and the infrastructure of the American Arctic. The Sagavanirktok River winds through the center of the sheet, surrounded by countless small thaw lakes and tundra wetlands. As the northern terminus of the Dalton Highway, this area serves as a critical logistics point for petroleum operations, represented here by the Deadhorse Airport and localized road networks like Lake Colleen Drive E and Deadhorse Drive. The map illustrates the specialized development required for this environment, where large-scale human activity is concentrated along specific corridors amidst a complex hydrographic network of seasonal streams and permafrost features.
