Chukchi Sea waters dominate this coastal survey of the far northwestern Arctic, where the coastline meets the land at the distinctive protrusion of Cape Beaufort. The map illustrates a stark transition from the open sea to the sharp rising elevations of the North Slope. Two primary watercourses, Kahkatak Cr and Tuluak Cr, drain the coastal highlands and empty into the sea just south of the cape. The survey meticulously documents the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t5s r50w and t5s r51w, providing a precise spatial record of this remote maritime frontier. The terrain detail reveals the drainage patterns and coastal bluffs that characterize this section of the Alaskan wilderness before it reaches the deeper interior mountains.
