2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River B-5 NW

About this map

The Fitaluk River meanders across the northwestern corner of this Arctic terrain, providing a rare hydrological landmark in a landscape defined by its subtle topographic shifts. Recorded in 2020 by the U.S. Geological Survey, the area is subdivided by the Public Land Survey System, spanning several townships including t2n r17w, t1n r16w, and t1s r17w. The map depicts an unpopulated expanse of the North Slope where elevation contours reveal a series of north-south ridges and drainage basins. Without roads or permanent settlements, the physical geography remains the primary focus for researchers studying drainage patterns or land management within the North Slope Borough.
