2013 Map of Harrison Bay C-5 SW

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates the northwestern landscape of this Arctic coastal plain, where the hydrology of the North Slope is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and interconnected wetlands. The southeastern quadrant is marked by the winding course of the Kogru River, a vital drainage system for this tundra environment. In the northeast, Garry Creek flows through the low-lying terrain, illustrating the delicate and shifting water patterns characteristic of the region. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the complex land-and-water interface in an area shaped by permafrost and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, documenting the precise extent of major water bodies before subsequent environmental changes.
