2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River A-3 SW

About this map

Colville River flows prominently through this section of the Arctic landscape, carving a wide, braided path across the North Slope. The river's winding course and shifting sandbars illustrate the dynamic nature of this northern waterway, which serves as a primary drainage for the Brooks Range to the south. In the southeastern portion of the map, Aupuk Cr meanders through the rolling terrain before joining larger systems. This 2020 topographic record highlights the complex hydrography of a region defined by its lack of permanent settlements and its vast network of seasonal watercourses. The survey provides precise elevation contours for the surrounding bluffs and lowlands within the North Slope Borough, detailing the intersection of Townships 4 and 5 South across Ranges 11 and 12 West.
