2016 Map of Killik River D-2 NE

About this map

The Killik River valley dominates this remote Arctic terrain, where the wide river braid cuts a broad path across the northern half of the landscape. Two primary tributaries, Mayuasanik Cr and Quandary Cr, drain the elevated ground to the south and west, carving through high-elevation contours that reach well above 1,000 feet. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the modern topography of the Alaska-North Slope Borough, highlighting the complex network of mountain streams and the distinctive alluvial patterns of the river system. The map serves as a primary record of the hydrography within the t5s r8w and t6s r8w township boundaries, where the lack of roads or infrastructure underscores the untouched character of this northern wilderness.
