2018 Map of Arctic C-3 NW

About this map

The northern slopes of the Brooks Range are defined here by the drainage of Water Creek, which flows northward through a series of steep topographic contours and glacial valleys. This 2018 survey captures the intricate physical geography within the North Slope Borough, illustrating the complex hydrology of a landscape dominated by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t8s r27e, t8s r28e, t9s r27e, and t9s r28e. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the extreme nature of this arctic environment, where the land is primarily managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Researchers and geographers can analyze the detailed elevation data and the path of Water Creek as it navigates the high-latitude terrain of the Arctic C-3 NW quadrangle.
