About this map

Fish Creek winds in complex oxbows and multi-channeled patterns across this North Slope landscape, dominating the central and southern sections of the terrain. The hydrological complexity is a hallmark of this Arctic coastal plain, where the meandering path of the creek is interspersed with numerous small thermokarst lakes and ponds. In the extreme southwestern corner, Judy Creek makes a brief appearance as it joins the broader drainage system. This area of Alaska, represented at a scale of 1:25,000, illustrates the intricate seasonal waterways of the National Petroleum Reserve, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the vast, untouched nature of the tundra at the start of the 21st century.
