2020 Map of Meade River D-1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2020

About this map

Meade River meanders across the high Arctic landscape of the North Slope, establishing a complex hydrologic network of oxbows and riverine wetlands. This modern survey, compiled from data ranging from the 1980s through 2019, reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan tundra within the Public Land Survey System grids of T18N through T16N. The landscape is defined by its extreme flatness and the presence of numerous thaw lakes and marshlands typical of the permafrost environment. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this sector emphasizes the remote, undisturbed character of the river corridor as it existed in 2020. Geologists and environmental researchers can trace the shift of the Meade River channel and its impact on the surrounding wetland inventory.
