2015 Map of Lookout Ridge A-5 NE

About this map

The Awuna River meanders across the northern reaches of this remote Alaskan landscape, where the vast drainage patterns of the North Slope are recorded in high-resolution detail. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the transition from the winding river valley to the rising upland terrain of Carbon Cr. The topography is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t2s r28w, t2s r27w, and several adjacent townships, which serve as the primary spatial reference for this uninhabited wilderness. Researchers can observe how the local hydrology interacts with the underlying geology, visible in the intricate contour work that captures every subtle drainage and ridge within this portion of the Lookout Ridge area.
