2014 Map of Wainwright A-5 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

Chukchi Sea dominates this arctic coastal landscape, where the shifting boundary between marine and freshwater environments is intricately mapped. The vast waters of the Avak Inlet and the meandering path of the Tunalik River define the local hydrography, set within the surveyor grids of t10n r40w and t9n r39w. This 2014 survey documents a land of thaw-lake plains and coastal wetlands in the North Slope Borough, capturing the precise shoreline and water levels of the period. Researchers of arctic geography can examine the complex network of unnamed tundra lakes and lagoons that surround the primary waterways, providing a baseline for studying coastal erosion and environmental change in this remote northern reaches of Alaska.
