2014 Map of Wainwright B-5 SE

About this map

The Chukchi Sea borders a thin coastal barrier within the North Slope Borough in this Arctic coastal survey. The map document is dominated by the expansive waters of the sea and the protected Kasegaluk Lagoon, which stretches across the lower half of the quadrangle. This layout emphasizes the delicate geography of Alaska's north coast, where narrow strips of land separate the open ocean from the lagoon systems. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this 2014 survey highlights the remote character of the shoreline, which is defined instead by public land survey markers including t11n r39w and t10n r38w.
