The Beaufort Sea coastline at Camden Bay defines the northern reaches of this Arctic landscape. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey covers a remote section of the North Slope Borough, where the coastal plain meets the frigid waters of the Beaufort. The map illustrates a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns typical of the tundra, with countless small ponds and meandering watercourses. Though primarily a study of natural hydrography and elevation, the inclusion of the Public Land Survey System grid provides an organizational framework for this uninhabited terrain, showing the divisions of Township 8 North through Township 6 North.
