2016 Map of Ikpikpuk River A-3 SW

About this map

Colville River dominates this Arctic landscape, its meandering channel and braided islands cutting through the North Slope south of the Beaufort Sea. The river forms a massive horizontal ribbon across the terrain, accompanied by the southern drainage of Aupuk Cr which winds through the lower quadrants. This 2016 survey illustrates a largely uninhabited expanse defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t4s r12w, t4s r11w, t5s r12w, and t5s r11w. The topographical detail highlights the low-lying relief and complex wetland hydrology characteristic of the region, providing a precise record of the shoreline and riverbank geometry before seasonal changes shift the gravel bars and alluvial deposits.
