2016 Map of Killik River C-4 SE

About this map

Kurupa River dominates the central drainage of this remote section of the North Slope, flanked by the wandering course of Outwash Creek to the west. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrography of the Alaskan arctic, where the river valley is marked by wide gravel bars and shifting braided channels. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, meticulously tracks the topographic elevations of the surrounding tundra hills and the transition from river plains to higher ground. The map serves as a precise record of the natural terrain and water systems within the boundaries of the North Slope Borough, capturing the untouched wilderness and its drainage patterns without the presence of permanent settlements or modern infrastructure.
