2014 Map of Meade River B-5 NE

About this map

Kugrua River winds across this Arctic landscape in the North Slope Borough, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan tundra in 2014. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of thaw lakes and wetlands, typical of the coastal plain's permafrost-driven geography. In the southwestern portion of the map, Kolipsun Cr meanders through the lowlands, providing a critical reference point in an area otherwise defined by its lack of permanent structures or roads. This document is a precise record of the hydrological network before shifting climate patterns and seasonal variations further alter the delicate northern hydrology.
