2016 Map of Lookout Ridge A-3 NE

About this map

The Awuna River meanders across the southern portion of this remote Arctic landscape, providing a primary hydrological landmark for the North Slope's interior. In the northern reaches, the drainage network is defined by the winding course of Discovery Creek and its smaller tributary labeled as Discovery Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates a vast, uninhabited terrain characterized by subtle elevation changes and complex drainage patterns within the North Slope Borough. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of the Colville River basin's upper reaches, where water bodies are the only named features in an area otherwise marked solely by the Public Land Survey System grids, including t2s r23w and t3s r23w. For researchers, the map provides precise data on the shifting water courses of this sub-arctic environment during the early 21st century.
