2020 Map of Teshekpuk D-2 NE

About this map

The Beaufort Sea coast of northern Alaska is defined here by the fragile interface of the Arctic Ocean and the low-lying coastal plain. Along this stretch of the North Slope, McLeod Point serves as a prominent geographic marker where the shoreline meets the sea. The landscape is characterized by a high density of wetlands and coastal inlets, typical of the region's permafrost-influenced hydrology. This 2020 edition provides precise detail of the shoreline's configuration within t18n r7w and t18n r8w, offering a digital-era record of this remote environment. While the map is devoid of human settlements or structures, it meticulously documents the transition from open water to the marshy coastal fringes of the Beaufort coastline.
