2015 Map of Lookout Ridge D-2 SE

About this map

The Usuktuk River winds through this expanse of the North Slope, serving as the primary hydrographic feature in a landscape defined by its remote Arctic character. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2015, the map illustrates the vast, unpopulated terrain within the t6n r20w and t5n r19w townships. The topography is marked by subtle elevation changes and the delicate drainage patterns typical of this high-latitude region, where the river's path is the most prominent landmark for those navigating or studying the northern Alaskan wilderness. This survey provides a precise look at the land's contours before shifting environmental conditions might further alter the permafrost-influenced terrain.
