The Beaufort Sea shoreline defines this Arctic landscape where the land meets the water along the northern coast of Alaska. The map illustrates a complex network of coastal features, including the protected waters of Angun Lagoon and Beaufort Lagoon, which are sheltered from the open sea by narrow barrier strips and points of land. These lagoons are fed by the meandering courses of the Sikrelurak River and Angun River, indicating a highly fluid environment where freshwater drainage interacts with the tidal influences of the Nuvagapak Entrance.
