2015 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-1 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Key Creek meanders through the heart of this North Slope landscape, defining the drainage patterns of the Ikpikpuk River D-1 SW quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thermokarst lakes and thaw ponds, typical of the Arctic coastal plain's permafrost environment. These water bodies, scattered across the township boundaries of t6n r7w, t6n r6w, t5n r7w, and t5n r6w, illustrate the shifting, saturated surface of the Alaskan tundra in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of these hydrological features before further climate-driven geomorphological changes, offering a baseline for studying the evolution of the North Slope's unique lake-rich geography.
