2020 Map of Teshekpuk D-2 SW

About this map

Smith Bay dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the Beaufort Sea meets the low-lying tundra of the North Slope. The shoreline is defined by subtle landforms like Point Poleakoon, which juts into the expansive wetlands and tidal flats that characterize this Arctic environment. Moving inland, the intricate network of water bodies includes Imakruak Lake and the meandering course of the Alaktak River. This 2020 survey illustrates a region largely shaped by its hydrology, where small features like Boat Cr provide the only named landmarks across the vast, marshy terrain of the t17n r8w and surrounding township sections.
