2017 Map of Sagavanirktok A-5 SW

About this map

The Kuparuk River winds across this Arctic landscape, defining the topography of a remote section of Alaska's North Slope. This 2017 survey documents the river's path as it meanders through the expansive North Slope Borough, illustrating the braided drainage patterns and subtle elevation shifts characteristic of the region. While the territory remains largely undeveloped, the map provides precise section and township lines, including t4s r9e, t4s r10e, t5s r9e, and t5s r10e, which are essential for understanding land divisions and resource management in this Arctic environment. Researchers and cartographers can trace the intricate hydrology of the Kuparuk River and its various tributaries as they navigate the low-lying terrain of the far north.
