2020 Map of Harrison Bay B-2 NW

About this map

Harrison Bay dominates the northern horizon of this coastal survey, where the Beaufort Sea meets the intricate delta system of the North Slope. The landscape is defined by the braided waterways of the Nechelik Channel and Tamayayak Channel, which carve through a mosaic of wetlands and thermokarst lakes. This hydraulic network illustrates the seasonal shifts of the arctic coastal plain, where water and permafrost constantly reshape the shoreline. To the east, Tolaktovut Point stands as a prominent landform marking the edge of the bay. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t13n r4e and t12n r5e, which organize this largely uninhabited terrain for administrative and environmental monitoring.
