2015 Map of Ikpikpuk River C-3 NE

About this map

Fry Creek and its smaller branch, Fry Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Arctic landscape on the North Slope. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study documents a saturated terrain characterized by dozens of unnamed thaw lakes and ponds scattered across the tundra. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, showing the boundaries between various townships including t5n r10w, t4n r10w, and t3n r10w. The absence of roads or established settlements illustrates the remote character of this region of Alaska, where the landscape is shaped primarily by hydrological processes and permafrost dynamics rather than human infrastructure.
