2016 Map of Harrison Bay A-3 SE

About this map

The Colville River dominates this Arctic landscape, carving a wide, braided path through the coastal plain of the North Slope. A significant geographic marker, Ocean Point stands along the riverbank, representing a key landmark in a region defined by expansive wetlands and shifting alluvial deposits. This survey captures the intricate network of channels and ponds that characterize the tundra before the river meets the Beaufort Sea. The map's detailed hydrography illustrates the seasonal nature of the Arctic environment, where the land and water are constantly reshaped by ice and flow. While predominantly a wilderness area, the inclusion of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, such as t9n r3e and t8n r4e, provides an essential framework for land management and environmental study in this remote northern territory.
