About this map

The Ayiyak River winds through the central and northeastern portions of this North Slope landscape, defining the local drainage system alongside its tributary, Wolverine Cr. This region within the t5s r3w and t5s r2w townships is characterized by a network of braided stream channels and significant elevation changes, as evidenced by the dense contour intervals. The cartography, compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey using modern imagery, provides a clear view of the natural hydrology in an area devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure. The absence of roads or structures emphasizes the remote nature of this Arctic terrain, where the primary landmarks are the watercourses and the relief of the Brooks Range foothills.
