2014 Map of Wainwright D-1 SE

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

The Chukchi Sea coastline defines this portion of the North Slope, where the arctic landscape is dominated by a complex network of coastal lagoons and shifting barrier landforms. The map illustrates the specialized geography of Peard Bay and the more southern Kugrua Bay, which is fed by the meandering Kugrua River. These protected waters and prominent landforms such as Asiniak Point and Eluksingiak Point have long served as essential navigation and subsistence landmarks for travelers and hunters along the Arctic coast. The intricate hydrography of the interior sections reveals countless small ponds and wetlands, characteristic of the permafrost-rich terrain within the t17n r28w and t16n r28w township boundaries. This coastal survey documents the precise shape of the Alaskan shoreline before the accelerating impacts of modern erosion and sea-level change.
