Kungok River meanders across this Arctic landscape, defining the primary drainage pattern for the North Slope's coastal plain. This 2014 survey captures a terrain dominated by thaw lakes and interconnected wetlands, where the river's path is the only named geographic feature among hundreds of unnamed water bodies. The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid is meticulously mapped, showing the township and range divisions such as t14n r27w and t15n r27w, which are essential for identifying specific tracts of land in this remote region. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the area before modern shifts in permafrost and drainage could further alter the course of the Kungok River.
