2015 Map of Ikpikpuk River C-3 SE

About this map

Fry Cr winds through this Arctic landscape, defining the primary drainage pattern across several townships including t3n r10w and t2n r10w. The terrain is characterized by the intricate hydrography typical of the North Slope, where countless small thaw lakes and thermokarst depressions dot the tundra between subtle elevation contours. Surveyed at a ten-foot interval, the map illustrates the fine-grained topography of the coastal plain, showing the relationship between the meandering stream beds and the surrounding level plains. This 2015 update by the U.S. Geological Survey utilizes satellite imagery to document the shifting surface water and permafrost features in this remote Alaskan borough.
