2017 Map of Beechey Point B-4 SE

About this map

Kuparuk River flows across this northern expanse of the Alaska tundra, creating a complex network of braided channels and wetlands. This 2017 survey illustrates the immense scale of the North Slope landscape, where the shifting waters of the river dominate the low-lying terrain. The map is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t12n r12e, t12n r13e, and surrounding townships, providing a precise spatial record of this remote region. While largely devoid of permanent human settlements, the intricate hydrography recorded here is essential for understanding the environmental patterns of the Arctic coastal plain.
