2020 Map of Meade River D-1 SE

About this map

Meade River defines this remote stretch of the North Slope, its course winding through an intricate network of wetlands and tundra lakes in Northern Alaska. This 2020 topographic study illustrates the vast hydraulic complexity of the region, where the river's path is carved across several township boundaries including t18n r17w and t17n r16w. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of water bodies and marshlands, typical of the coastal plain's geography where drainage patterns are often subtle and changing. The lack of infrastructure or named settlements on this sheet highlights the wilderness character of the Meade River corridor, a landscape shaped by seasonal shifts and the permafrost of the Alaskan Arctic.
