2020 Map of Harrison Bay C-4 NW

About this map

Harrison Bay dominates the northern and eastern portions of this Arctic coastal survey, where the shallow waters of the Beaufort Sea meet the low-lying tundra of Alaska's North Slope. The area is defined by a grid of Public Land Survey System townships, specifically T16n R2w and T15n R2w, which represent the primary human imprint on this otherwise undeveloped landscape. This 2020 edition provides a clear record of the coastline and offshore bathymetry prior to further natural or industrial changes. While the interior consists of an intricate web of small ponds and wetlands characteristic of the permafrost-rich region, the most significant landmark remains the expansive bay itself, which serves as a critical geographic marker for the northern reaches of the continent.
