2014 Map of Meade River D-5 NE

About this map

The Chukchi Sea dominates this arctic coastline, where the waters of Peard Bay meet the northern reaches of Alaska. This coastal interface is characterized by the presence of Seahorse Island, a narrow landform positioned along the bay's edge. The map documents the vast maritime landscape within the North Slope Borough, providing a clear view of the shoreline as it existed in the early twenty-first century. Surveying data from the U.S. Geological Survey indicates the maritime boundaries and the grid of t18n r26w, reflecting the formal division of these remote northern reaches. This document captures the intersection of land and sea in an era before significant shifts in the arctic coastline, preserving the exact position of features like Peard Bay for researchers and maritime historians.
