Kokolik River winds through the northwestern corner of this remote North Slope landscape, which is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and arctic wetlands. This 2014 survey captures a vast area of the North Slope Borough, Alaska, where water dominates the geography through interconnected basins and subtle drainage patterns like Niklavik Cr. The lack of man-made structures or roads in these townships, including t4n r44w and t5n r44w, reflects the pristine and uninhabited character of the coastal plain environment. Researchers and geologists can study the natural hydrography and the shifting boundaries of permafrost-affected water bodies that characterize this part of the Alaskan wilderness.
