2014 Map of Wainwright B-2 NE

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

The Kuk River drainage system dominates this coastal Arctic landscape, illustrating the intricate network of tidal channels and inland lakes characteristic of the North Slope. Along the western shoreline, Kilich Point serves as a prominent landmark where the river widens significantly before meeting the Chukchi Sea. To the northeast, the Kungok River meanders through the tundra, contributing to a complex hydrological environment shaped by seasonal permafrost activity. This 2014 survey documents the precise topography of the low-lying coastal plains, where the absence of permanent human structures highlights the region's status as a remote wilderness primarily utilized for subsistence activities. The map reveals the interplay between primary river channels and the countless unnamed thermokarst lakes that dot the interior, providing a detailed record of the Arctic shoreline at this point in the early twenty-first century.
