About this map

Kayaksak Mountain and Igilerak Hill dominate the topography of this remote landscape in the North Slope Borough, where elevation changes are defined by narrow creek valleys and rising ridges. The Kukpuk River snakes through the central terrain, serving as the primary hydrological artery fed by numerous tributaries including Ilikrak Cr and Kokirat Cr. This environment is characterized by its drainage patterns, notably where the Ipewik River enters the frame from the north. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the prominent Saligvik Ridge, which overlooks the headwaters of Saligvik Cr and Angmakrok Cr. The map preserves the indigenous nomenclature of these landforms and waterways, providing a precise record of the geographic naming conventions used by the U.S. Geological Survey in this Arctic region.
