Figure 4.27 Comparison of overflow waters along the coastal plain portion of the Sagavanirktok River in April of a ‘normal’ year (2014) and during the flood year of 2015. Note the large amount of overflow in the vicinity of Franklin Bluffs in 2015, and in the Sagavanirktok River delta south of Deadhorse adjacent to the Dalton Highway.
