2018 Map of Flaxman Island A-4 SW

About this map

The Staines River winds through this expanse of the North Slope, defining the primary hydrological character of the landscape. As documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century, the terrain is marked by the intricate patterns of the Public Land Survey System, specifically within townships t9n r23e, t9n r24e, t8n r23e, and t8n r24e. This map illustrates a remote coastal plain environment where the braided channels and seasonal shifts of the river system dominate the geography. The absence of traditional settlements or infrastructure highlights the raw, undeveloped nature of this arctic region, providing a baseline for environmental studies or modern land management.
