2017 Map of Beechey Point B-4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

The Sakonowyak River meanders across this northern landscape, defining the hydrology of a region characterized by extensive wetlands and thaw lakes. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns within the North Slope Borough, where small water bodies dominate the terrain between the river's various branches. The map provides precise Public Land Survey System data across several townships, including t11n r11e, t11n r12e, and t12n r11e. These grid lines overlay a nearly level coastal plain, where the shifting course of the Sakonowyak River serves as the primary geographic landmark in an otherwise uniform arctic environment. The lack of infrastructure or permanent settlements reflects the preservation of the natural drainage systems of the Alaska tundra during the early 21st century.
