2016 Map of Ikpikpuk River B-4 SE

About this map

The Kigalik River meanders across the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a low-lying valley through the Arctic tundra of the North Slope. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and hydrologic features of the region, where the river's winding course is the primary geographical anchor. The map is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the junction of four townships: T1s R13w, T1s R12w, T2s R13w, and T2s R12w. Outside of the riparian corridor, the terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and complex wetlands, reflecting the unique environmental conditions of northern Alaska. Without settlements or roads, this map serves as a detailed record of the undisturbed natural topography as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey.
