The Beaufort Sea forms the northern boundary of this coastal Arctic landscape, where the land meets the cold waters of the North Slope. This 2016 survey illustrates a complex hydrological environment dominated by expansive wetlands and thermokarst lake systems. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries such as t18n r4w and t17n r3w defining the administrative divisions of this remote coastal plain. The intricate network of small water bodies and seasonal wetlands shown here reflects the dynamic nature of the permafrost-influenced landscape, offering a precise look at the shoreline before further environmental shifts.
