2016 Map of Ikpikpuk River B-2 NW

About this map

Alice Creek and Baby Creek provide the primary drainage for this stretch of the North Slope, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of high-latitude drainage patterns and seasonal waterways. Surveyed in 2016, the landscape within the t1n r9w and t2n r9w townships remains largely unpopulated, showing the pristine state of the Arctic tundra before any significant industrial or infrastructure development. This survey serves as a precise baseline for the hydrological features of the region, documenting the intricate winding of small creek beds through the varied elevations of the Alaskan wilderness. Researchers can observe the natural topographical contours that dictate the flow of these northern waters toward the larger drainage basins beyond the map boundaries.
