About this map

Swayback Mtn anchors the northwestern corner of this remote North Slope landscape, overlooking a series of glacial features and high Arctic watercourses. The northern reaches are defined by the Swayback Lakes, which feed into the meandering network of Swayback Cr. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns characteristic of the Brooks Range foothills, where seasonal runoff flows toward the eastern boundary. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the Kuna River carves a prominent path through the tundra, joined further south by the headwaters of Bushy Cr. This 2020 survey provides a modern topographic record of these undisturbed waterways and named peaks within the North Slope Borough, illustrating the exact course of the river and its relationship to the surrounding upland summits.
