2018 Map of Flaxman Island A-4 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Point Thomson stands as a prominent geographic marker on this stretch of the northern Alaskan coast, where the tundra meets the Beaufort Sea. This 2018 survey documents a landscape of coastal lagoons and braided shorelines, characterized by a series of barrier islands including Duchess Island, North Star Island, and the Maguire Islands. These landforms protect the inner waters, such as the Mary Sachs Entrance, from the open sea. The map reveals the intricate network of wetlands and small thermokarst lakes that dominate the North Slope terrain south of the coast. This representation reflects the remote character of the region during a period of ongoing environmental monitoring and industrial interest in the oil-rich coastal plain.
