2014 Map of Point Lay A-3 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
The Chukchi Sea coastline defines the northwestern edge of this Arctic landscape, where the cold waters meet a coastal plain characterized by complex drainage patterns. Significant hydrological features include the Omalik Lagoon, which serves as a transition between the marine environment and the inland tundra. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Omalik Cr and Kuchiak Cr, which navigate the low-lying coastal elevation. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the North Slope at a time when traditional watercourses and coastal boundaries remain vital for understanding the region's environmental history and subsistence geography. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System sections, providing a grid for land management across the vast, undeveloped reaches of the Alaska North Slope.
