Nechelik Channel and Tamayayak Channel wind through this coastal Arctic landscape within the North Slope Borough of Alaska. This 2016 survey highlights a complex network of wetlands and braided waterways typical of the Colville River delta region. The terrain is characterized by intricate shoreline features such as Tolaktovut Point, which extends into the northern waters of Harrison Bay. This detailed mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the shifting hydrology of the Colville delta, where seasonal water movement through these major channels continually reshapes the low-lying tundra and silt-heavy deposits of the northern coast.
