2013 Map of Ikpikpuk River B-2 SE

About this map

The upper reaches of Anak Cr and Maybe Creek define this unpopulated stretch of the North Slope. This 2013 topographic study reveals a landscape of high-latitude drainage patterns and subtle relief, where the north-flowing waters of Anak Cr cut through the western portion of the quadrangle. To the east, the headwaters of Maybe Creek—also labeled as Maybe Cr—wind through the undulating tundra. The absence of roads, structures, or established settlements emphasizes the primitive state of this remote Alaskan interior, showing only the township and range boundaries of T 1 S and R 8 W as evidence of the Public Land Survey System. For researchers of the Arctic, this map provides a precise record of the hydrologic network before any modern industrial or infrastructure changes.
