2017 Map of Beechey Point B-3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Alaska Pipeline infrastructure cuts through this northern landscape, marking a significant industrial corridor on the North Slope. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of coastal wetlands and thermokarst lakes, draining toward the Stefansson Sound at the northern edge. Inland, the Putuligayuk River meanders across the low-lying tundra, accompanied by smaller tributaries such as Fawn Cr. A rare point of vertical relief is found at Kuparuk Mound, a distinctive landmark in an otherwise exceptionally flat coastal plain. This 2017 survey captures the intersection of critical energy infrastructure and the delicate Arctic hydrologic system, where seasonal water flow and frozen ground dictate the character of the environment.
