2016 Map of Harrison Bay B-3 SE

About this map

Harrison Bay dominates the northern reaches of this Arctic coastal landscape, where the Beaufort Sea meets the intricate hydrology of the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and winding riparian corridors, most notably the Ublutuoch River and the braided channels of Fish Creek. These waterways form a complex drainage pattern across the tundra, typical of the region's permafrost-influenced geography. The Tingmeachsiovik River also meanders through the central portion of the map, illustrating the vast, unpopulated wilderness of the Alaska North Slope during this mid-2010s survey. The map serves as a detailed record of the natural hydrography before significant industrial or infrastructure changes in this specific quadrangle.
