2017 Map of Beechey Point B-2 SE

About this map

Foggy Island and the surrounding coastal waters of the Beaufort Sea define this northern landscape along the Alaska coast. The terrain is characterized by the low-lying reaches of Foggy Island Bay and the prominent protrusion of Point Brower, where the land meets the arctic waters. This 2017 survey details the fragile transition between the terrestrial North Slope and the sea, emphasizing the braided, marshy characteristics of the shoreline. The map is primarily an environmental study of this unpopulated stretch of the Arctic, organized by the Public Land Survey System grids including t11n r17e and t10n r17e. It provides a modern scientific record of the shoreline's position and the intricate network of wetlands that dominate the delta-like environment before it gives way to the open bay.
