2016 Map of Chandler Lake D-5 SE

About this map

Ayiyak River meanders through the northern portion of this North Slope quadrangle, where the Arctic landscape is defined by vast drainage systems and dramatic elevation changes. The presence of Hatbox Mesa in the southern sector provides a distinct topographical landmark, rising significantly above the surrounding terrain. This high ground serves as a drainage divide between several tributary systems, including Mammoth Cr and Wolverine Cr. The map illustrates the complex braiding of these waterways as they navigate the varying gradients of the Alaskan wilderness. Published by the U.S. Geological Survey, the survey details a landscape devoid of permanent human settlements, focusing instead on the hydrography and terrain that characterize this remote portion of the North Slope Borough.
