2013 Map of Meade River B-3 SW

About this map

Kukak Creek and Tikikluk Creek thread through this tundra landscape within the North Slope Borough, as charted in this 2013 topographic study. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of thaw lakes and ponds, typical of the Arctic coastal plain's permafrost environment. The map details the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for Township 11 North and Ranges 22 and 23 West. These waterways are the primary named features in an otherwise uninhabited stretch of the Meade River region, reflecting the seasonal drainage patterns of the Alaskan far north. Researchers can observe the intricate hydrography and elevation contours that define the low-lying basin during the early twenty-first century.
