2017 Map of Beechey Point A-3 SW

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River meanders through this Arctic coastal plain landscape, defining the eastern portion of the terrain with its braided channels and wetland complex. This modern survey illustrates the critical infrastructure corridors that cross the North Slope, most notably the Alaska Pipeline and the adjacent Dalton Highway. These two features run nearly parallel through the center of the map, carving a straight path through the low-lying tundra and numerous small lake bodies. The map captures the industrial and logistical backbone of the region, where the primary focus is the movement of resources across the vast, open reaches of t9n r14e and t8n r14e.
