2016 Map of Killik River D-1 NW

About this map

Kikakpak Bluff dominates the northwestern portion of this terrain, overlooking the broad, braided path of the Killik River. The landscape is characterized by its high-latitude Arctic drainage systems, where the main river course is fed by tributaries such as Coal Creek (also labeled Coal Cr). The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, with the bluff serving as a prominent landmark above the river valley. This survey reflects the remote character of the North Slope Borough, where natural landforms and watercourses provide the primary points of orientation in a region largely devoid of human structures or built infrastructure. The detailed contour mapping captures the intricate drainage patterns that shape this sub-arctic environment.
