2017 Map of Ikpikpuk River D-5 NW

About this map

Ishuktak Creek meanders through the central and northern reaches of this North Slope landscape, defining a complex drainage system of seasonal watercourses and wetlands. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and ponds typical of the Alaskan arctic coastal plain, visible across the various township divisions including t7n r16w and t8n r16w. While no permanent settlements or roads appear on the survey, the hydrology of Ishuktak Cr reveals the intricate natural water management of the tundra before it joins larger river systems to the north. The map provides a high-resolution look at the subtle elevation changes and landforms that guide the flow of water through this remote corner of the North Slope Borough.
