2017 Map of Beechey Point C-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Oliktok Point serves as the southern anchor for this coastal survey of the North Slope Borough shoreline. The landscape is defined by the shallow waters of Simpson Lagoon, protected from the open Beaufort Sea by a thin chain of barrier features. These include the Spy Islands and Leavitt Island, which sit at the edge of the Arctic Ocean. This map documents the complex relationship between the low-lying tundra coastline and the shifting sea during the early 21st century. The sparse distribution of named points highlights the isolation of this Arctic environment, where small landforms like islands and points provide the primary geographical markers for navigation and local history along the northern coast.
