Middle Fork Chandalar River dominates the eastern corridor of this terrain, following a braided course southward through the Brooks Range. This 2017 survey documents the precise hydrography and elevation of the North Slope's interior, where the river's wide floodplains provide a contrast to the surrounding high-altitude terrain. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, including regions like t15s r19e and t16s r19e, which help orient researchers to specific wilderness tracts within the North Slope Borough. This map serves as a modern topographic benchmark for an area largely inaccessible by road, recording the natural drainage patterns that have shaped this subarctic environment.
