2017 Map of Beechey Point B-5 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Simpson Lagoon dominates the northern coastline of this Arctic landscape, where the shallow waters of the Beaufort Sea meet the low-lying tundra of the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of thaw lakes and wetlands, typical of the coastal plain's permafrost environment. Flowing toward the northern coast, the Ugnuravik River winds through the eastern portion of the map, carving a path through the flat, saturated soils. A singular topographic exception in this nearly level expanse is Thetis Mound, a localized elevation that stands out against the surrounding marshes. This map illustrates the intersection of vast natural water systems and the administrative divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including t13n r9e and t12n r9e, in a region where geography is defined by seasonal water movement.
