2014 Map of Meade River B-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Kolipsun Cr meanders across this Arctic landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by countless small thaw lakes and thermokarst depressions. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the drainage patterns within the North Slope Borough, specifically within the Public Land Survey System divisions of T13n R27w and surrounding townships. The lack of infrastructure or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this terrain, where the surface is shaped primarily by the seasonal movement of water across the permafrost. The intricate network of ponds shown here is characteristic of the Meade River region, reflecting a landscape in a constant state of subtle geomorphic change.
