2014 Map of Point Lay C-2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

The coastal interface between the Chukchi Sea and the North Slope interior defines this reach of the Alaska wilderness. The dominant feature is Kasegaluk Lagoon, a massive shallow-water estuary protected from the open ocean by a series of barrier features, including Kopkakisak Island and the prominent Sitkok Point. This landscape is shaped by the slow movement of water through the tundra, as seen in the winding paths of the Kukpowruk River and the Epizetka River as they approach the coast. The map reveals the intricate network of thaw lakes and braided stream channels characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain, where drainage is dictated by the low-relief terrain and seasonal cycles.
