2014 Map of Point Lay D-2 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Point Lay sits at the edge of the barrier island system where the Kokolik River meets the coastal waters. This coastal environment is defined by the narrow strip of land separating the expansive Chukchi Sea from the sheltered waters of Kasegaluk Lagoon. The map illustrates the delicate geography of the Alaska North Slope Borough, showing how local infrastructure and the natural landscape of the North Slope are intertwined. The layout of the lagoon and its associated wetlands provides insight into the seasonal hydrology of the region, where river discharge and sea ice influence the coastal profile of this remote Arctic territory.
