2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River C-3 NW

About this map

Ikpikpuk River meanders across this northern landscape, forming an intricate series of oxbows and abandoned channels characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain. The river dominates the northwestern corner of the sheet, while Fry Creek winds through the northeastern section, both cutting through a low-lying terrain defined by an extensive network of thaw lakes. The dense concentration of these water bodies suggests a highly dynamic permafrost environment where the shifting hydrology is constantly reshaping the local landforms.
