2020 Map of Meade River A-4 NE

About this map

Nigisakuvik River meanders across this Arctic landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns characteristic of the North Slope. This 2020 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study illustrates a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes and an abundance of small, unnamed thaw lakes. In the northeast corner, Kukpak Cr provides further hydrological structure to an area largely shaped by permafrost and seasonal water flow. The map outlines the Public Land Survey System grid across several townships, including t10n r24w and t9n r24w, reflecting the systematic spatial organization of this remote Alaskan territory. Researchers will find a pristine representation of the hydrological systems that dominate the region before any major industrial or infrastructure developments appear in this specific quadrant.
