About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge lands dominate this northern Alaskan landscape, where a complex network of wetlands and braided waterways defines the North Slope terrain. The Hulahula River flows northward through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding tundra. This river system is flanked by multiple smaller tributaries, including Katakshak Creek and Natararoak Creek, which reveal the intricate drainage patterns characteristic of this remote arctic environment. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within the survey area emphasizes the preserved wilderness of the region. Detailed hydrography and elevation contours provide a precise look at the low-lying coastal plain and the subtle shifts in terrain that direct the seasonal movement of water across the refuge.
