2020 Map of Lookout Ridge C-3 NE

About this map

Meade River defines the landscape of this remote section of the North Slope, carving a serpentine path through the Arctic coastal plain. The map traces the river's extensive meanders as it flows generally northeast, cutting through a series of low-relief plateaus and alluvial basins. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with the boundaries of t5n r23w, t4n r22w, and t3n r22w among others, delineating the vast, unpopulated townships. The fine-grained contour lines reveal a complex network of drainage patterns and subtle elevation changes characteristic of this permafrost-influenced region. This 2020 survey provides a precise modern record of the river's morphology and the surrounding wilderness in one of the most northern reaches of Alaska.
