2018 Map of Arctic D-3 SE

About this map

Cane Creek and its smaller tributaries, such as Red Sheep Creek, define the topography of this high-latitude terrain within the North Slope. The landscape is marked by the sharp relief of steep ridges and deep valleys, organized here by the rectilinear grid of township and range boundaries including t7s r28e and t7s r29e. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area's drainage patterns and elevations with precision, showing how Cane Cr winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The lack of named settlements or man-made infrastructure emphasizes the wilderness character of this Brooks Range interior, where geographical features are the primary landmarks for navigation and study.
