2020 Map of Meade River A-3 SW

About this map

The low-lying Arctic tundra of Alaska's North Slope defines this landscape, where the meandering course of Kowlak Cr and the intermittent flow of Pikroka Cr shape the terrain. This 2020 topographic record illustrates the intricate hydrography of the region, featuring numerous small, shallow lakes and seasonal wetlands that dominate the permafrost-rich environment. Located within the Public Land Survey System designations of t9n r23w, t9n r22w, t8n r24w, and t8n r23w, the map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of the Meade River watershed. The absence of roads or established settlements underscores the seasonal character of this remote territory, serving as a baseline for environmental researchers and those tracking changes in northern Alaskan water bodies.
