2014 Map of Meade River B-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2014

About this map

The Arctic tundra of the North Slope appears as a mosaic of countless thaw lakes and wetlands in this early 21st-century survey. Located within the Meade River B-5 SW quadrangle, the landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, including T11n R28w and T12n R27w. The lack of named settlements or infrastructure highlights the profound isolation of this region, where the terrain is governed by permafrost processes and seasonal hydrologic patterns. This topographic study, produced with the assistance of the Alaska Dept. of Transportation, serves as a precise baseline for the shifting hydrology of the northern Alaskan coastal plain. The intricate network of water bodies shown across T11n R27w and surrounding townships provides a detailed view of the natural landforms before modern climatic shifts significantly altered the surface morphology of the borough.
