2015 Map of Lookout Ridge B-4 SW

About this map

The Kaksu River flows through this portion of the North Slope, carving a serpentine path across a landscape defined by significant elevation changes. This 2015 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the drainage patterns of the high Arctic tundra, where the Lili Cr joins the larger river system. The contour intervals reveal a series of ridges and valleys that dictate the hydrology of the region, which is partitioned by the public land survey system grid across t1s r27w, t1s r26w, t2s r27w, and t2s r26w. The lack of man-made structures or roads emphasizes the isolation of this Arctic terrain, providing a clear record of the natural topography before any modern industrial or infrastructure development reached this specific quadrangle.
