2014 Map of Wainwright D-2 SE

About this map

Chukchi Sea waters dominate this coastal landscape, meeting the shoreline at Point Belcher. As part of the Arctic Ocean basin, this Arctic maritime environment is defined by its low-lying coastal plains and the transition between the open sea and the North Slope borough. The map delineates the extensive public land survey system grid, including t17n r30w and t16n r30w, illustrating the vast, unpopulated character of the region during the early 21st century. The sparse inland features and prominent coastline reflect a landscape shaped by seasonal ice and maritime influence rather than permanent terrestrial settlement.
