The vast, water-heavy landscape of the North Slope is captured in this survey, defined by its complex network of thermokarst lakes and pond systems. This particular area, organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of T17n R19w and T17n R18w, reveals the intricate hydrography characteristic of the Arctic coastal plain. While the map contains no named settlements or man-made structures, the detailed contouring provided by the National Elevation Dataset highlights the subtle topographical shifts across the tundra. The survey serves as a precise record of the shoreline geometries of hundreds of unnamed water bodies as they appeared during the early 21st century, documented through SPOT imagery and data from the BLM.
