2018 Map of Arctic D-5 NW

About this map

Ivishak River winds through the southwestern corner of this high-latitude terrain, marking the primary topographical break in an otherwise continuous system of peaks and valleys. This 2018 survey documents a remote section of the North Slope Borough, where the landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of T5s R22e and T6s R22e. The map illustrates the dramatic elevation changes and drainage patterns characteristic of the Brooks Range foothills, providing a precise record of the natural hydrology and contour intervals in an area devoid of roads or permanent settlements. The lack of infrastructure highlights the pristine state of the watershed, where only the river serves as a named landmark among the numbered survey sections.
