2018 Map of Demarcation Point D-2 OE E SW

About this map

The Beaufort Sea dominates this coastal survey, where the far northern waters meet the shoreline of the North Slope Borough. The map captures a transition from the open sea to the distinct landform of Icy Reef, a narrow coastal feature that separates the ocean from the mainland. This 2018 topographic study illustrates the sparse, undeveloped nature of the Arctic coastline, focusing on the boundary where land and ice-affected waters interact. Mapping of the Public Land Survey System for t5n r42e provides a grid for an otherwise uninhabited landscape, essential for understanding the administrative geography of this remote Alaskan territory.
