The Chukchi Sea coastline meets the immense, water-logged terrain of Alaska's North Slope in this recent coastal survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of thermokarst lakes and slow-moving drainages, including the aptly named Tractor Lake in the southeastern quadrant. Small arctic waterways like Siugat Cr, Singat Cr, and Niklavik Cr carve through the tundra, illustrating the fluid boundaries between land and water in this permafrost-rich environment. This map captures the remote character of the region, where surveyors have meticulously tracked the shifting shorelines and hydrologic patterns that dominate the North Slope Borough.
