2016 Map of Harrison Bay B-3 NE

About this map

Harrison Bay dominates the northern landscape of this Arctic coastal region, where the shallow waters of the Beaufort Sea meet the low-lying tundra. The transition from marine environment to the wetland-rich land of the North Slope Borough is marked by a complex network of thaw lakes and braided drainage patterns. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Tingmeachsiovik River, which flows through an intricate system of marshland and small ponds. This 2016 survey documents the hydrographic character of the North Slope's coastal plain, illustrating the seasonal nature of the landscape where water and land are inextricably linked. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t12n r3e and t13n r4e, showing the township and range grid overlying this remote Alaskan territory.
