2017 Map of Beechey Point A-3 NW

About this map

The Alaska Pipeline dominates the industrial character of this North Slope landscape, cutting a straight north-south corridor across a terrain defined by an intricate network of thaw lakes and wetlands. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of modern infrastructure and the delicate Arctic drainage system, most notably where the pipeline route parallels the winding course of the Putuligayuk River in the northwestern quadrant. The map provides a precise view of the public land survey system divisions, including t10n r13e and t9n r14e, which serve as the primary framework for managing this resource-rich coastal plain. This is a landscape where the vast water-to-land ratio highlights the engineering challenges inherent in the region's energy development.
