2016 Map of Harrison Bay D-5 SE

About this map

The Beaufort Sea dominates the northern and central portions of this Arctic coastal region in the North Slope Borough. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of the Alaskan shoreline, where land and water merge through a complex network of coastal inlets and wetlands. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, which spans several townships including t18n r3w, t17n r3w, and t16n r3w. These divisions represent the foundational mapping structure for resource management and environmental monitoring in this remote northern latitude. The absence of traditional settlements or roads highlights the seasonal and ecological focus of this coastal map, where the sea and its shifting ice or water levels dictate the character of the terrain.
