2016 Map of Killik River C-5 SE

About this map

The East Fork Etivluk River defines the drainage patterns of this remote North Slope landscape, carving through a region defined by complex topographical contours and expansive glacial valleys. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate network of watercourses, including the E Fork Etivluk River and its smaller tributaries like Ivaluk Cr, which represent the primary geographic markers in a terrain largely devoid of human infrastructure. The map documents the vast scale of the North Slope Borough interior, providing a detailed record of the hydrography and elevation data compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Dept. of Transportation. This area serves as a significant example of Arctic river systems before the influence of modern industrial or settlement footprints, preserving the natural state of the northern wilderness.
