2020 Map of Meade River B-2 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Meade River and the Usuktuk River wind through this Arctic landscape, where the shifting hydrology of the North Slope is meticulously documented. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and wetlands, typical of the coastal plain's permafrost-influenced geography. These waterways have long served as vital corridors for subsistence and travel in the region, and this 2020 record captures their exact meandering paths across the t13n r21w and t12n r21w township lines. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the isolation of this reach of the North Slope Borough, where the natural drainage patterns of the rivers remain the primary geographic features.
