2016 Map of Chandler Lake C-4 SE

About this map

The Siksikpuk River defines the western edge of this remote Arctic drainage basin, flowing through the vast North Slope Borough just as the terrain begins to rise into the foothills. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape carved by moving water, where several significant tributaries converge to feed the regional watershed. The Natvakruak Cr winds through the central portion of the quadrangle, joined further south by Confusion Cr and the larger Tiglukpuk Cr. These braided watercourses represent the primary navigational landmarks in a region largely defined by its natural topography rather than human infrastructure. The arrangement of these creeks illustrates the complex hydrology of the northern Alaskan tundra, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns essential for modern environmental study and backcountry navigation.
