2017 Map of Beechey Point B-4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Simpson Lagoon dominates the northern edge of this coastal landscape on the North Slope, where the land meets the Beaufort Sea. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and wetlands, typical of the Arctic coastal plain's permafrost-influenced hydrology. Landmarks such as Beechey Point and the slightly elevated Beechey Mound provide some of the only distinct geographic relief in an otherwise low-lying expanse defined by the t13n r11e and t13n r12e township boundaries. The map illustrates a remote environment where the interface between marine and terrestrial ecosystems is constantly shaped by seasonal cycles.
