2015 Map of Meade River C-1 NE

About this map

The northern reaches of the Alaskan coastal plain are meticulously charted in this topographic record, reflecting the intricate network of lakes and thermokarst features that dominate the North Slope landscape. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the area is divided into several townships including T16n R16w and T16n R17w. The absence of named settlements or roads underscores the isolation of this Arctic environment, where the land is primarily defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries and the subtle 10-foot contour intervals of the National Elevation Dataset. This map provides a clear view of the water bodies that pepper the tundra across T15n R17w and T15n R16w, serving as a foundational document for understanding the hydrology of this permafrost-underlain region.
