2016 Map of Killik River D-4 SW

About this map

Kurupa River defines the primary drainage of this arctic landscape, winding through the remote terrain of the North Slope. This 2016 survey, based on imagery from the U.S. Geological Survey and SPOT, illustrates the vast and largely uninhabited expanse of the Brooks Range foothills. The map details the intricate hydrography of the river corridor within the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t6s r14w, t7s r14w, and t8s r14w. The topographic data reveals the complex elevation changes and drainage patterns characteristic of the Killik River region, highlighting how the water systems shape the northern Alaskan wilderness. Researchers can trace the river's path as it meanders through the survey townships, providing a clear record of the hydrological state of the region in the early twenty-first century.
