. Brigham Young University science bulletin. Biology -- Periodicals. Biological Sebies, Vol. 14, No. 2 Reconnaissance of Nohthern Yukon 11. Fig. 9. Arctic coastal plain, Beaufort Sea, and King Point (K). along the lower of Deep Creek and Babbage River. Collecting locality 13 (C). Air Photo Division—Energy, Mines, and Resources—Canadian Government air photo A Mackenzie River to the east, filling an estuary between moderately High protecting ridges. The Blow River is emptying onto the flank of the Mackenzie delta and is producing much the same general topographic pattern as seen on the larger structure. Lakes are a common feature of the eastern part of the outer, lower coastal plain. In general these are shallow, muskeg-bordered lakes with little through-flowing water. Most appear to be kettles or the result of melting ice, with a few related to abandoned channels of the major streams as the latter have shifted their discharge channels near the mountain front. A few of these lakes would be serviceable bases for field par- ties. In the west, McNeish Lake, east of the Firth River, is deep enough and ice-free long enough to function as a campsite in the late summer. Most of the lakes are not usable, however, be- cause they are surrounded by marsh and soft ground. Lakes are not common on the upper slopes of the plain, but Trout Lake and the small lake to the north are deep enough and large enough to be serviceable for float plane-based operations. These appear to be ice-melt lakes, possibly even.
