2018 Map of Flaxman Island A-5 NW

About this map

Bullen Point Air Force Station sits on the edge of the Beaufort Sea, marking a cold-war era coastal defense presence along the remote northern shoreline of Alaska. This survey reveals a landscape dominated by the intricate interplay of coastal lagoons and the transition from the mainland at Bullen Point to the offshore environment of the Stockton Islands. The waters of Mikkelsen Bay and the navigational opening at Challenge Entrance define the maritime character of the region. The map highlights the vast, pond-strewn tundra typical of the North Slope, where countless small water bodies stretch inland across the township grids of T9N and T10N.
