2016 Map of Teshekpuk D-1 NE

About this map

Kokruagarok sits on the northern edge of this coastal landscape, situated where the Alaskan tundra meets the Beaufort Sea. This 2016 survey highlights a remote Arctic environment defined by complex hydrology and a shoreline shaped by shifting ice and water. Near the western edge of the quadrangle, the Lonely Air Station serves as a distinct marker of human presence and infrastructure in the North Slope region. To the east, the Smith River meanders toward the coast, terminating near the prominent geographic feature of Pitt Point. The map provides a look at the intersection of natural river systems and the coastline during a period of modern mapping that utilized SPOT imagery and National Hydrography Dataset details to record these isolated landforms.
