About this map

The Ugnuravik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by countless small lakes and ponds. Located in the North Slope Borough, the terrain is characterized by its complex network of seasonal wetlands and thaw lakes typical of the coastal plain environment. The Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t12n r9e and t11n r9e, provides the primary structural reference for this remote territory. This mapping reveals the intricate drainage patterns where water is the primary sculptor of the land, reflecting the environmental conditions of the early twenty-first century before significant industrial or infrastructure shifts might alter the surface hydrology.
