2013 Map of Meade River A-2 NW

About this map

Meade River meanders across this Arctic landscape, forming a complex network of oxbow lakes and abandoned channels that dominate the terrain of the North Slope. This 2013 survey reveals the dynamic nature of the river system as it winds through a landscape saturated with thermokarst lakes and ponded water. The arrival of Agutiroak Cr from the west adds to the intricate hydrology of the area, illustrating how minor tributaries integrate into the larger river basin. The map provides a clear look at the township and range lines, including the boundary between T 10 N and T 9 N, which impose a geometric human order over the fluid, ever-changing Arctic wetlands.
