About this map

Fish Creek and Judy Creek meander through this portion of the North Slope, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of thaw lakes and braided riparian channels. Situated within the Arctic coastal plain, the terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and seasonal watercourses that shift across the flat tundra. The mapping of t12n r1e and surrounding townships by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of these vital waterways before they reach the Beaufort Sea. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the remote, wild character of the region, where the hydrology of the Colville River delta influence is felt through the complex web of ponds and stream segments that dominate the surface.
