2020 Map of Meade River A-3 SE

About this map

Meade River defines the southeastern corner of this remote North Slope landscape, winding through a vast system of arctic wetlands and thermokarst lakes. The terrain is dominated by the complex drainage of Pisiksagiavik Cr, which meanders across the central and northern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2020 survey documents the intricate water patterns within the regional boundaries of t9n r22w and t8n r21w, providing a precise look at the hydrology of the Alaska coastal plain. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the wilderness character of the North Slope Borough, where the shifting courses of small streams and the seasonal changes in lake levels are the primary geographic features for researchers and travelers.
