2018 Map of Arctic D-3 NE

About this map

Canning River winds through the northern reaches of the Arctic D-3 NE quadrangle, serving as the primary hydrological feature in this high-latitude landscape. The area is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t5s r28e, t5s r29e, t6s r28e, and t6s r29e, which organize this portion of the North Slope. This 2018 survey illustrates a region where the absence of roads and settlements underscores the preservation of the natural drainage patterns and the remote character of the Brooks Range foothills. The contour intervals reveal a complex system of ridges and valleys that direct the flow of the Canning River as it makes its way toward the Arctic Ocean.
