Meade River meanders across this northern landscape, defining a complex network of thaw lakes and wetlands in the Alaska North Slope Borough. This 2015 survey captures the hydrography of the region just as the Okpiksak River joins the drainage system from the south. The terrain is characterized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t16n r19w, t16n r18w, t15n r19w, and t15n r18w. This map is a stark record of a remote arctic environment, where the shifting channels of the river and the concentration of water bodies illustrate the delicate seasonal balance of the Alaskan tundra.
