About this map

Kutuk Cr flows through this northern Alaskan landscape, cutting through the high country of the North Slope Borough. The terrain is defined by the high elevations within t8s r16w and t8s r15w, where the contour lines indicate steep slopes and dramatic changes in topography typical of this part of the Brooks Range foothills. The map reveals an untouched wilderness characterized by complex drainage patterns and high-altitude basins.

While the area lacks permanent settlements or road infrastructure, the detailed survey of the township and range lines, such as t9s r16w and t9s r15w, provides essential data for understanding the hydrography of the region. The map serves as a primary record of the natural state of these watersheds before any modern human encroachment, highlighting the primitive water networks that feed into the larger river systems of the north.
