2016 Map of Ikpikpuk River A-5 NW

About this map

Section Cr winds through the North Slope terrain in this 2016 survey, cutting across the expansive township and range boundaries that define the region's land management. The drainage provides a critical geographic reference point in a landscape otherwise marked by the subtle undulations of the Alaskan tundra. Located in the remote northern reaches of the state, the map highlights the intersection of several surveying blocks, including t3s r17w and t2s r16w, which illustrate the systematic grid system applied to the Arctic wilderness. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour intervals that reveal the complex hydrology of the watershed as it relates to the larger North Slope Borough drainage patterns.
