The Usuktuk River winds through the North Slope in this 2020 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by meandering water and permafrost features. This quadrangle captures the river's complex, looping channel as it moves through the northern wilderness of the t9n r19w and t8n r18w township grids. The area is characterized by an intricate network of thaw lakes and ponds, typical of the Arctic coastal plain's hydrologic patterns. Because there are no roads or settlements shown, the map serves as a primary record of the natural drainage and elevation of this remote region within the North Slope Borough. It is an essential resource for understanding the contemporary geomorphology of the Usuktuk River and its surrounding wetlands.
