Glacial topography and high-altitude terrain dominate this 2018 survey of the North Slope. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System divisions of T4s R28e and T5s R28e, among others, which provide the only human-imposed structure on an otherwise wild geography. Published by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map utilizes 2009 SPOT imagery and 2017 elevation data to document the complex contouring of the Brooks Range foothills. Researchers will find a pristine environment devoid of named roads, settlements, or infrastructure, focusing instead on the hydrography and natural drainage patterns of this Arctic region.
