2015 Map of Ikpikpuk River C-5 SW

About this map

Titaluk River winds through the southern reaches of this North Slope landscape, defining the local drainage patterns across a terrain marked by subtle elevation changes. This 2015 data from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where the primary human framework is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t3n r17w, t3n r16w, t2n r17w, and t2n r16w. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness state of the North Slope Borough during the early 21st century. Researchers can observe the natural contouring of the land as it slopes toward the river system, which remains the dominant geographical feature of the quadrangle.
