2016 Map of Lookout Ridge B-1 SW

About this map

The Kigalik River meanders across this northern landscape, following a winding course through the interior of the North Slope. This 2016 survey documents the remote terrain where the river’s drainage basin dominates the central topography, bounded by the township divisions of t1s r19w, t1s r18w, t2s r19w, and t2s r18w. The southern edge of the sheet is defined by the high ground of Birthday Pass, a significant local geographic feature that provides a natural corridor through the surrounding ridges. The detailed contour mapping reveals the subtle elevation changes of the tundra and the complex hydrological patterns characteristic of this subarctic environment, offering a clear view of the land before modern development or significant human infrastructure altered the drainage of the Kigalik watershed.
