2017 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-3 SE

About this map

Price River dominates this Arctic landscape, winding through a complex network of thermokarst lakes and tundra wetlands in Northern Alaska. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the dynamic hydrography of the North Slope, where the river's path is defined by seasonal shifts and the unique permafrost geography of the region. The map covers territory across four townships, including t6n r10w, t6n r9w, t5n r10w, and t5n r9w. The density of unnamed lakes and drainage patterns showcased here provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Ikpikpuk River watershed, essential for understanding the remote wilderness environment of the North Slope Borough.
