2016 Map of Killik River C-2 SW

About this map

Lake Udrivik sits at the base of the Itkilikruich Ridges in this remote section of the North Slope. The landscape is defined by the braided path of the Killik River as it moves north through the tundra, joined by the E Fork Oolahnagavik River. This 2016 survey highlights the complex hydrology of the Arctic coastal plain, showing the numerous unnamed thaw lakes and smaller drainage patterns that shift across the high latitudes. The topographical detail reveals the subtle elevation changes of the ridges, which provide a contrast to the water-dominated lowlands where the rivers meander and diverge.
