2016 Map of Misheguk Mountain D-4 NE

About this map

Utukok River winds through the northern reaches of this remote Arctic landscape, providing a primary drainage for the surrounding tundra and hills. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, culminating in the prominent peak of Meat Mtn in the southeast. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate network of seasonal waterways, including Seismo Creek, which flows through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. The map documents the vast, undeveloped character of the North Slope at the start of the 21st century, where the land remains largely untouched by permanent settlements or industrial infrastructure. Researchers and environmental historians can trace the natural water paths and topography that have shaped this sub-arctic environment for generations.
