The Lupine River winds across the southwestern corner of this Arctic landscape in the North Slope Borough, providing a rare hydraulic constant in a region defined by complex drainage and high-latitude wetlands. This 2017 survey details a remote section of the Alaskan tundra, where the transition between Townships t4s r15e, t4s r16e, t5s r15e, and t5s r16e occurs. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of seasonal thaw ponds and small lakes, reflecting the permafrost-driven hydrology of the region. This document serves as a precise record of the surface water and elevation contours of the North Slope's interior before subsequent environmental shifts might alter these delicate drainage patterns.
