2020 Map of Harrison Bay B-4 SE

About this map

Fish Creek meanders through a landscape of dense arctic wetlands and thermokarst lakes in this remote section of the North Slope. The topography is defined by the subtle hydrologic patterns of the coastal plain, where the lack of human infrastructure highlights the untouched character of the sub-arctic environment. Surveyed in the early twenty-first century, this map records the complex network of unnamed lakes and water bodies that dominate the region within the Public Land Survey System grids of t12n r1w and t10n r1e. The intricate detail of the shoreline and drainage patterns provides an essential reference for researchers studying the evolving geomorphology of the Alaskan tundra.
