2013 Map of Meade River A-2 NE

About this map

Usuktuk River dominates this section of the Arctic tundra within the North Slope Borough during the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex aquatic landscape where the river meanders through a dense network of thaw lakes and unnamed ponds typical of the Alaskan permafrost environment. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the terrain is defined by its low relief and intricate hydrology rather than human settlements. The absence of roads or structures emphasizes the isolation of this remote region, where the primary geographical markers are the township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System, such as the boundary between T 10 N and T 9 N.
