2014 Map of Lookout Ridge C-4 NW

About this map

Shaningarok Ridge forms the central topographic backbone of this northern wilderness, a persistent upland feature that dictates the drainage patterns of the surrounding landscape. The area is defined by its isolation and the intricate network of watercourses, most notably Shaningarok Cr, which meanders through the southern sections of the survey. As part of the North Slope Borough, the terrain documented here illustrates the vast, undeveloped character of the Arctic tundra. The mapping of the various township and range boundaries, including t4n r26w and t5n r25w, highlights the systematic surveying of this remote region, where natural features remain the primary landmarks in an otherwise unpopulated expanse of the Alaska frontier.
