2016 Map of Harrison Bay C-4 SE

About this map

Harrison Bay and the winding course of the Kogru River dominate this coastal reach of the North Slope. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of thaw lakes and wetlands, typical of the Arctic coastal plain, where land and water merge across the low-lying tundra. To the north, the protected waters of the bay are punctuated by the Eskimo Islands and the prominent protrusion of Saktuina Point. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate shoreline and the seasonal drainage patterns that define the region's geography. The map provides clear demarcations for township and range lines, including t14n r1w and t14n r1e, which facilitate precise location tracking in this remote environment. For researchers or those studying the shifting hydrology of Alaska's northern coast, the detailed mapping of the river delta and coastal features offers an essential perspective on this maritime landscape.
