The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge defines the landscape of this remote corner of the North Slope. This area is a complex network of Arctic waterways, primarily centered on the southward drainage of Marsh Creek and its tributary, West Fork Marsh Creek. The hydrology of the region is further characterized by the meandering path of Carter Creek in the eastern portion of the sheet. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, this map illustrates a vast, uninhabited tundra environment where natural water patterns dictate the geography. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the importance of these named watercourses for navigation and environmental study within the refuge boundaries.
