2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River A-2 SW

About this map

Colville River and its southern tributary, the Killik River, dominate the lower half of this landscape in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range. The terrain is defined by a dense network of contour lines that reveal the dramatic relief of the uplands rising north of the river basins. This specific region of the North Slope reflects a wilderness shaped by massive alluvial systems, where the confluence of these two major rivers creates a complex pattern of gravel bars and shifting channels. Surveyed for the North Slope Borough, the map provides a precise record of the natural topography and the legal boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including t4s r9w and t5s r9w, in a region where few permanent settlements or man-made landmarks exist.
