2017 Map of Sagavanirktok B-2 NE

About this map

The Kadleroshilik River serpentines across this North Slope landscape, defining the hydrology of a region marked by extensive tundra and permafrost features. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, the Echooka River appears, feeding into the broader drainage systems that characterize this part of Alaska's arctic coastal plain. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex braided nature of these watercourses as they navigate a terrain dictated by subtle elevation changes and glacial history. The map also delineates the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t1n r18e and t2n r18e, providing a framework for understanding the administrative division of this undeveloped territory. Researchers can trace the specific channel paths of these rivers before seasonal variations or long-term geomorphic shifts alter their course.
