2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River B-4 SE

About this map

The Kigalik River meanders through the southern reaches of this North Slope landscape, defined by its complex network of oxbows and marshy lowlands. This 2020 survey illustrates a remote section of the Alaskan interior where the terrain transitions from gentle uplands in the north to the river-carved valleys of the south. The area is organized by the Public Land Survey System grid, spanning the intersections of t1s r13w, t1s r12w, t2s r13w, and t2s r12w. Without roads or established settlements, the map provides a focused look at the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours that dictate the movement of water across this permafrost-underlain environment.
