2018 Map of Demarcation Point D-3 NW

About this map

Humphrey Point stands as a prominent coastal landmark on this northern shoreline, marking the boundary between the vast Arctic tundra and the Beaufort Sea. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape dominated by complex drainage systems and seasonal wetlands, where the Pokok Bay provides a protected inlet for the Arctic waters. The map meticulously traces the winding paths of several coastal waterways, including the Kikiktpaurauk River and the Siksik River, which meander through the low-lying terrain. Further south, the braided channels of the Sikrelurak River and Angun River illustrate the dynamic hydrological patterns of the North Slope. This topographic study captures a remote environment where land and water merge through an intricate network of lakes and river deltas, essential for understanding the shifting coastal geography of the Alaska Arctic.
