2016 Map of Chandler Lake B-3 NW

About this map

Natyakruak Cr flows southward through this North Slope landscape, defining a wide glacial valley marked by subtle elevation changes and numerous seasonal wetlands. The drainage pattern of Anayaknaurak Cr in the eastern portion of the sheet reveals a high-latitude environment where small watercourses and ponding dominate the terrain between northern ridges. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey maps the intricate system of contours that define the interior of the North Slope Borough, providing a clear record of the watershed before shifting climate patterns or future resource exploration potentially alter these remote watercourses. While no permanent settlements are recorded, the detailed hydrography and township boundaries like t11s r2e and t12s r2e offer essential data for researchers and surveyors working in the Alaskan arctic.
