About this map

Fish Creek winds through this expanse of the Arctic coastal plain, creating a complex drainage network that defines the local landscape. The map illustrates a saturated terrain dominated by countless unnamed thermokarst lakes and ponds, a characteristic feature of the North Slope's permafrost environment. Labeled also as Fish Cr in its upper reaches, this waterway provides the primary navigational and ecological structure for the area. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the isolated nature of this wilderness during the early 21st century, where the land is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t9n r4w, t9n r3w, t8n r4w, and t8n r3w.
