2015 Map of Lookout Ridge D-2 NW

About this map

Meade River meanders across the arctic coastal plain of the North Slope in this 2015 representation of the Alaskan wilderness. The terrain is defined by a dense network of thermokarst lakes and ponded water, characteristic of the permafrost-rich landscape. In the northeastern portion of the sheet, Piksiksak Cr flows northward through a system of low-relief hills and drained lake basins. The survey detail illustrates the intricate hydrography of the region, where shifting river channels and seasonal drainages dictate the shape of the land. This map serves as a precise record of the environmental conditions and hydrological patterns within the t7n r21w, t8n r21w, and surrounding township sections at the time of the 2015 GNIS and National Hydrography Dataset updates.
