The Colville River and the Awuna River meet in this 2016 survey of the North Slope, revealing the complex braiding and oxbow formations of these Arctic waterways. The confluence marks a significant hydrological junction within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, where the meandering path of the Awuna River enters the broader Colville River valley. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of contour lines that detail the subtle elevation changes of the surrounding tundra and river bluffs. This map captures the remote landscape between t4s r16w and t5s r15w, providing an intricate view of the riverbanks and riparian zones before they were altered by subsequent seasonal floods or permafrost shifts.
