2020 Map of Harrison Bay B-4 NW

About this map

The Kalikpik River snakes through this aquatic landscape of the North Slope, where the terrain is dominated by a dense mosaic of thaw lakes and wetlands. Located within the t13n r2w, t13n r1w, t12n r2w, and t12n r1w township boundaries, this area represents a specialized environment where surface water and permafrost dynamics dictate the geography. The absence of permanent roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this Arctic region during the early twenty-first century. For researchers and environmental historians, the map provides a baseline for tracking the shifting hydrology of the North Slope, as the intricate patterns of these unnamed water bodies respond to seasonal changes and long-term climatic shifts in the Alaskan tundra.
