1985 Map of Ikpikpuk River B-4

About this map

The Ikpikpuk River and its meandering tributaries dominate this mid-1980s topographic survey of the North Slope. Situated within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, the landscape is defined by vast hydrographic networks and seasonal drainages such as Brooks Creek and the southern Kigalik River. A notable landform in the northeastern portion of the sheet is the Valley of the Willows, which provides a rare named topographical distinction in an otherwise repetitive terrain of tundra and low relief. The map illustrates the complex drainage patterns typical of the Arctic coastal plain, showing where water systems interact with the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines established by the Bureau of Land Management. This edition reflects the remote character of the region during a period of ongoing federal land management and resource evaluation.
