2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River A-3 SE

About this map

The Colville River dominates this Arctic landscape within the North Slope Borough, where the waterway carves a wide channel through the tundra. The river's path is marked by distinctive hydrological features such as Kakvuiyat Bend, where the current swings sharply against the surrounding bluffs. This 2020 topographical study captures the area's complex drainage network, including the confluence where Aupuk Cr feeds into the main river system. To the north, the terrain transitions into the upland features of Angoyakvik Pass, a notable geographical notch in the local relief. The map illustrates a remote wilderness defined by shifting watercourses and significant elevation changes, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography as it existed in the early 21st century.
