2014 Map of Meade River C-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
The Kugrua River winds across this Arctic landscape in the North Slope Borough, carving a serpentine path through the low-lying tundra. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain dominated by thaw lakes and intricate drainage patterns characteristic of the Alaskan coastal plain. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t16n r27w and t15n r27w, which delineate the vast, uninhabited expanses between the coastal marshes and the interior. The lack of man-made structures or roads emphasizes the isolation of this region, where the shifting hydrology of the Kugrua River serves as the primary geographical anchor for researchers and land managers studying permafrost dynamics and Arctic ecosystems.
