Tundra and wetlands dominate this 2018 survey of the Alaskan Arctic, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of small lakes and ponds across the North Slope. The area is divided by the Public Land Survey System grids of T9n R20e, T9n R21e, T8n R21e, and T8n R22e. This map illustrates the hydrology typical of the region, featuring hundreds of unnamed water bodies and saturated wetlands as documented by the National Wetlands Inventory between 1978 and 1982. The absence of named settlements or roads reflects the extremely remote character of this terrain, located north of the Brooks Range along the northern coastal plain.
