2017 Map of Beechey Point B-5 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Ugnuravik River winds through the wetlands of the North Slope in this 2017 study, illustrating the hydraulic complexity of the Arctic coastal plain. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of thaw lakes and marshes, characteristic of the permafrost-influenced terrain near the Beaufort Sea. The presence of the Ugnu-Kuparuk Airport signifies the region's industrial importance, specifically its role in supporting the logistical needs of the North Slope oil fields. This survey provides a precise record of the shifting water bodies and the minimal infrastructure required to maintain operations in such a remote environment, where land and water merge into a seasonal mosaic.
