2014 Map of Point Hope A-2 SE

About this map

Chariot stands as the primary namesake on this coastal reach of the North Slope Borough, where the land meets the Chukchi Sea. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic coastal topography and numerous drainage systems, such as Ogotoruk Cr and Mitik Cr, which flow south from the inland heights. Notable elevations like Iluituk Hill and the Telavirak Hills overlook the shoreline, punctuated by landmarks such as Crowbill Point and the coastal feature Augutaurak. Below the surface of the water, the Ogotoruk Seavalley extends into the depths, indicating the submerged geological complexity of the region. The map also captures the vastness of the Arctic Ocean to the south, highlighting the isolation of this northern environment and the specific indigenous and scientific place-naming traditions of the area, from Artigotrat to Cliff Spring.
