2020 Map of Teshekpuk D-5 NE

About this map

Admiralty Bay and Dease Inlet dominate this coastal reach of the North Slope, where the land and water dissolve into a complex pattern of thaw lakes and low-lying points. The landscape is defined by its maritime features, notably Wright Point, which extends into the inlet, and several small landforms including Tiny Island and the Kikiktak Islands. This 2020 study highlights the intricate shoreline of Oarlock Island, reflecting the dynamic nature of the Arctic coastal environment. Without permanent settlements or roads, the map serves as a primary record of the physical geography and hydrography within the boundaries of t19n r14w and surrounding townships, providing a baseline for understanding the shifting coastal morphology of this remote Alaskan borough.
