2020 Map of Harrison Bay A-5 NW

About this map

Fish Creek and Inicok Creek define the hydrological character of this North Slope landscape, where the flat coastal plain is heavily saturated by an intricate network of thaw lakes and ponds. This modern 2020 survey captures the region as part of the T10n R4w and T9n R4w townships, showing the slow movement of water across the permafrost-underlain terrain. The serpentine paths of Fish Creek in the south and Inicok Creek to the east are the primary drainage features, cutting through a mosaic of seasonal wetlands. The lack of any man-made structures or roads emphasizes the isolation of this Arctic environment, focusing entirely on the complex natural hydrography that shift with the seasons on the tundra.
