About this map

Staines River meanders across this northern landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature in this portion of the North Slope. Much of the eastern terrain falls within the protected boundaries of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the vast coastal plain meets the river's drainage system. The map documents the intricate wetland patterns and braided water channels characteristic of this Arctic environment, as defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t9n r23e and t8n r24e. This cartographic record provides precise detail on the hydrography of the region during the early twenty-first century, reflecting the untouched character of the shoreline and inland plains prior to any modern development in this specific quadrangle.
