2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River C-3 SW

About this map

North Slope tundra and delicate hydrographic networks characterize this portion of the Arctic coastal plain as it was documented in 2020. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System divisions of T3n R12w, T3n R11w, T2n R12w, and T2n R11w. These township and range designations provide the primary structural framework for a region otherwise dominated by a dense web of unnamed lakes, ponds, and wandering stream channels. This survey focuses on the physical geography of the permafrost-influenced terrain, capturing the intricate drainage patterns and subtle elevation changes that dictate the movement of water across this segment of the borough. The absence of named settlements or infrastructure reflects the extreme isolation and preservation of the natural landscape in this remote northern latitude.
