2016 Map of Harrison Bay C-4 SW

About this map

Comfort Point marks a distinct geographic protrusion into the southern waters of Harrison Bay on Alaska's northern coast. The landscape is defined by the sinuous path of the Kogru River, which meanders through a complex network of coastal wetlands and ephemeral thaw lakes. This 2016 survey provides a precise view of the interface between the Arctic shoreline and the inland tundra within the North Slope Borough. The lack of infrastructure or permanent settlements reflects the preservation of a traditional subsistence environment, where the shifting hydrology of the river delta and the bay remains the primary force shaping the terrain. Surveyed township boundaries from t15n r2w through t13n r1w provide a grid for researchers and land managers monitoring this remote coastal stretch.
