2020 Map of Lookout Ridge D-3 NW

About this map

The Arctic landscape of the North Slope is captured here in a transition between the northern reaches of the T8n R24w and T8n R23w townships. This remote expanse is defined by complex hydrological patterns, with numerous unnamed lakes and winding drainage systems that characterize the permafrost-underlain terrain south of the Beaufort Sea. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within the boundaries of T7n R24w and T6n R23w reflects the isolation of the Lookout Ridge area. This 2020 edition provides a high-resolution view of the shifting water bodies and subtle elevation changes across T6n R24w and T6n R23w, documenting the natural state of the Alaskan wilderness before significant modern infrastructure. The map serves as a vital record for understanding the geomorphology of the region's interior plains.
