2013 Map of Harrison Bay B-4 SW

About this map

Kalikpik River winds through this expanse of the Alaska North Slope, carving a complex network of oxbows and channels across the Arctic tundra. The landscape is characterized by a high density of thaw lakes and ponds, typical of this permafrost region. In the southern portion of the sheet, the waters of Fish Creek flow through meandering courses, reflecting the low-gradient drainage patterns that define the coastal plain. The map's detail provides a specialized record of the hydrological structure before significant modern shifts, capturing the precise positioning of the riverbanks and the numerous unnamed water bodies that dominate the territory. This documentation is essential for understanding the seasonal changes and environmental character of this remote borough at the time of the 2013 survey.
