2013 Map of Meade River D-2 NW

About this map

Kilusiktok Lake and Tractor Lake dominate this landscape of the Alaska North Slope, where the hydrology is defined by elongated, north-south oriented water bodies. This Arctic coastal plain terrain is crossed in the northwest by a Winter Trl, a seasonal transportation route essential for movement across the permafrost and marshy ground during the colder months. The south-central portion of the map is bordered by the winding course of the Inaru River. The map provides a detailed view of the intricate network of thaw lakes and ponds that characterize this region's complex drainage patterns, where traditional trails and natural waterways serve as the primary landmarks in an area without permanent modern settlements.
