2015 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-2 SE

About this map

Price River and Key Creek carve through this remote stretch of the North Slope, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of thaw lakes and meandering watercourses. The drainage patterns shown here reflect the subtle topography of the Arctic coastal plain, where the shifting beds of these waterways illustrate the dynamic nature of the permafrost-influenced terrain. Surveyed and updated in the 2010s, this area is categorized by large townships like t6n r8w and t5n r7w, highlighting the vast, uninhabited reaches of the Alaska North Slope Borough. For researchers, the high-resolution contour intervals of the National Elevation Dataset and hydrography from the National Hydrography Dataset provide a precise view of the hydrology and elevation changes in this wilderness area.
