2014 Map of Point Lay B-2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

Kasegaluk Lagoon dominates this coastal landscape along the Arctic shore of the North Slope, separated from the open Chukchi Sea by a thin, protective barrier. This specific stretch of the coastline is defined by the elongated Kopkakisak Island, which shelters the shallow lagoon waters from the sea's influence. The map illustrates a complex network of coastal ponds and wetlands that characterize the low-lying tundra, highlighting the intricate transition between terrestrial and marine environments in this remote region. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the vast, undeveloped nature of the area, where the primary features are the shifting shorelines and the vast expanses of surface water typical of the Alaskan Arctic coastal plain.
