About this map

The Oolamnagavik River snakes through the western portion of this Arctic landscape, defining the drainage patterns of Alaska's North Slope. In this high-latitude terrain, the river is joined by the E Fork Oolamnagavik River, which cuts across the central and northeastern sections of the quadrangle. The hydrology is further defined by the presence of Traveler Cr, a tributary system in the southwest.

Elevations rise sharply toward the southeast, where the Itkilikruich Ridges form a prominent topographical feature. This 2016 survey documents the remote wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the intricate water network and the stark relief of the ridgelines within the North Slope Borough. The map is primarily an exploration of landform and hydrography in a region devoid of permanent settlements or infrastructure.
