About this map

National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska dominates the high-latitude terrain of this North Slope quadrangle, a region defined by its isolation and specialized administrative status. The landscape is primarily shaped by the meandering path of Story Creek, which flows through the central and southern portions of the sheet. Often appearing as Story Cr in its upper reaches, this waterway provides the primary topographic orientation in an area otherwise marked by remote survey boundaries like t11s r26w and t12s r26w. The absence of roads or permanent settlements reflects the preservation of this vast arctic territory for federal resource management, making this document a specific record of public land boundaries and natural hydrography in the American Arctic during the early twenty-first century.
