2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River C-2 SE

About this map

The northern reaches of the North Slope in Alaska are defined here by a landscape of intricate hydrological patterns and undulating terrain. This 2020 topographic study illustrates the transition between T3n R8w and T3n R7w in the northern half, and T2n R8w and T2n R7w in the southern half. The map documents a complex system of lakes, ponds, and wetlands characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain, providing a technical record of the land's elevation and surface water features. Without modern roads or infrastructure, the focus remains entirely on the natural geometry of the terrain as surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey. This data provides essential grounding for understanding the shifting hydrology of this specific region of the North Slope Borough.
