2020 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2020

About this map

Ikpikpuk River and its massive meandering loops dominate this remote Arctic landscape within the North Slope Borough. This segment of the river system is characterized by dramatic fluvial shifts, most notably at the sharp, sweeping curve of Semiutak Bend. The intricate network of oxbow lakes and braided channels shown here illustrates a dynamic hydrologic environment where the water is constantly reshaping the tundra. To the west, the Titaluk River joins the drainage pattern, contributing to the complex wetland mosaic typical of this region's permafrost-underlain terrain. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the area, making this 2020 record an essential reference for understanding contemporary Arctic river morphology and land cover prior to future environmental shifts.
