2016 Map of Meade River D-1 SE

About this map

Meade River defines this portion of the Alaska North Slope, where the watercourse cuts a serpentine path through a landscape dominated by thaw lakes and saturated wetlands. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate drainage patterns of the Arctic coastal plain, showing the river winding through townships such as t18n r17w and t18n r16w. The dense distribution of lakes and the high concentration of surface water across these survey blocks—including t17n r17w and t16n r16w—demonstrate the dynamic hydrology of the region, where slight elevation changes dictate the flow of minor tributaries and the formation of seasonal ponds.
