2017 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-4 SW

About this map

Oumalik Lakes dominate the central-western portion of this Arctic landscape, surrounded by an intricate system of thaw lakes and drainage channels typical of the North Slope. The Oumalik River enters from the northwest, while the Titaluk River meanders across the southern and eastern reaches, creating complex riparian corridors across the tundra. The geography reflects a wilderness defined by water and permafrost-driven terrain, where hydrology governs movement. Sparse and remote, the area is divided into townships including t6n r14w, t6n r13w, t5n r14w, and t5n r13w, showing the formal grid overlay of the Public Land Survey System on an otherwise undeveloped landscape.
