2017 Map of Lookout Ridge C-4 NE

About this map

Shaningarok Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this remote North Slope sector, providing a stark topographic contrast to the drainage basins below. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Shaningarok Creek, which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Arctic tundra, where small tributaries and wetlands are dictated by the underlying permafrost and low-lying elevation. The map shows no permanent settlements or infrastructure, highlighting the pristine and uninhabited nature of the Alaskan wilderness. Researchers studying hydrological flow or Arctic landforms can trace the specific path of the creek as it moves through township boundaries like t3n r24w and t3n r25w.
