The Usuktuk River winds through this section of the Arctic coastal plain, illustrating the complex hydrography of the North Slope. In this 2020 survey, the landscape is defined by an immense density of thaw lakes and ponds characteristic of the permafrost environment. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including the convergence of T11n R20w, T12n R19w, and T11n R19w. Without roads or established settlements, the river serves as the primary geographical landmark in an area otherwise distinguished only by its intricate network of water bodies and marshland. This document captures the state of this remote environment as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey for the North Slope Borough.
