2016 Map of Lookout Ridge A-2 SE

About this map

Awuna River flows across the northern reaches of this Arctic landscape, where the hydrography is defined by tight oxbows and meandering tributaries. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System grids of t4s r21w, t4s r20w, t5s r21w, and t5s r20w, reflecting the systematic mapping of the North Slope. To the south, the Lookout River cuts through the elevation, revealing a complex network of seasonal drainages and wetlands characteristic of this high-latitude environment. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses data from the National Hydrography Dataset and National Elevation Dataset to document a region devoid of permanent settlements or roads, offering a primary record of the natural drainage patterns before further environmental shifts occur in the Alaskan wilderness.
