About this map

The Arctic community of Nuiqsut is situated on the Nechelik Channel in this modern topographic study of the North Slope. Located at the head of the Colville River delta, the settlement pattern reveals a compact grid of streets including Pausaanna Street, Upagvik St, and First Avenue. This area represents a critical nexus of subsistence land use and infrastructure, where the braided waters of the Colville River meet the Itkillik River in a landscape dominated by permafrost-driven hydrography. The presence of the Nuiqsut Airport and Winter Lake Road highlights the essential transportation corridors required for life in the high Arctic. Beyond the village, the terrain is a complex network of seasonal channels and wetlands, illustrating the dynamic nature of the Colville drainage system.
