2014 Map of Lookout Ridge B-5 NE

About this map

The Meade River snakes through this high-latitude terrain of the Alaska North Slope, carving a path across the township boundaries of t2n r28w and t1n r28w. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a remote landscape defined by its subtle hydrography and the transition of the northern tundra. To the east, the Kaksu River flows through the sections of t1n r27w and t1s r27w, mirroring the northward drainage pattern characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain. The topographic detail, captured with a ten-foot contour interval, reveals the gentle elevations and drainage basins that dictate the seasonal movement of water across these uninhabited reaches of the North Slope Borough.
