2014 Map of Wainwright D-1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

Chukchi Sea and Arctic Ocean waters dominate the northern reaches of this coastal landscape on the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of coastal lagoons, small ponds, and braided waterways that shift across the low-lying tundra. The Igklo River winds northward through the center of the sheet, eventually emptying into the sheltered waters of Kugrua Bay to the east. This 2014 survey documents the intricate interface between the land and the sea in a region defined by its hydrology rather than permanent settlements or infrastructure. The lack of roads or established towns underscores the isolation of this Arctic environment, where the shifting courses of rivers like the Igklo and the seasonal presence of ice in the Chukchi Sea dictate the character of the land.
