2015 Map of Meade River C-1 SW

About this map

The Okpiksak River winds through this expanse of the North Slope, defining the hydrological character of a landscape dominated by thaw lakes and interconnected wetlands. This 2015 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Alaska Dept. of Transportation, provides a precise look at the township and range divisions within the North Slope Borough. The map captures the complex drainage patterns where the river and its various unnamed tributaries traverse several survey boundaries, including t14n r18w and t13n r18w. This document is an essential resource for understanding the modern topographic state of this remote Arctic environment, illustrating the dense concentration of water bodies that characterize the region's permafrost-driven terrain.
