2016 Map of Chandler Lake D-4 NW

About this map

Ayiyak River meanders across this northern landscape, forming intricate loops and oxbows within its wide valley. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns typical of the North Slope, where the water is hemmed in by significant topographical features like Grandstand Ridge. The map details the transition from the high, relief-heavy terrain of the ridge down to the river’s active floodplain. Lacking roads or settlements, the area is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids, including t5s r1w and t6s r2w, which provide the primary framework for navigation and resource management in this expansive wilderness.
