2020 Map of Lookout Ridge A-2 SW

About this map

Lookout River meanders across the lower half of this North Slope landscape, carving a series of complex oxbows and wetlands through the tundra. Further north, the Awuna River cuts through the upper portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the remote drainage patterns typical of this part of the Alaskan wilderness. The map is defined by its topographic isolation and the stark simplicity of its hydrography, with no roads or settlements recorded. Instead, the terrain is marked by the formal grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t4s r21w and t5s r22w, which provide the only human-imposed structure over the natural contours of the ridge system and its surrounding river valleys.
