2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains D-5 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Kuparuk River winds through this high-latitude terrain within the Philip Smith Mountains D-5 NE quadrangle, carving a path through the expansive North Slope Borough. This specific area is defined by its topographic complexity, where elevation contours reveal the drainage patterns of the Arctic watershed. The landscape is organized by the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t5s r10e, t5s r11e, t6s r10e, and t6s r11e. These township and range designations serve as the primary markers for navigation and land management in a region largely devoid of permanent settlements or road infrastructure. The absence of human-made structures highlights the river's role as the dominant geographic feature, influencing the local hydrology and seasonal wetland distribution.
