2014 Map of Meade River D-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Point Franklin stretches across this Arctic coastline, forming a distinctive geographic divide between the open Chukchi Sea and the sheltered waters of Peard Bay. This 2014 survey documents the fragile interface of the North Slope Borough where the Beaufort coastal plain meets the sea. The map detail highlights the sparse offshore Seahorse Islands and the low-lying coastal terrain characteristic of the northernmost reaches of Alaska. By recording these specific shoreline contours and the positioning of the barrier islands, the map serves as a vital record of the shifting maritime geography of the Arctic before ongoing environmental changes further alter the shape of these remote points and bays.
