2017 Map of Sagavanirktok A-1 NE

About this map

Echooka River meanders across this northern landscape, carving a broad valley through the eastern sections of township t3s r20e and southward. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with the river providing a natural corridor through the otherwise steep slopes. In the northeastern corner, the Shaviovik River enters the frame, marking a distinct drainage basin from the Echooka system. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a wilderness shaped by these two primary watercourses, where the absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the extreme isolation of the North Slope. The detailed contour mapping reveals the complex ridges and spurs that separate these river valleys, providing a precise record of the physical geography near the Brooks Range foothills.
