2017 Map of Sagavanirktok B-3 NW

About this map

The Sagavanirktok River meanders across this northern landscape, carving a wide braided channel through the Arctic coastal plain. This 2017 survey documents a critical intersection of natural hydrology and industrial infrastructure in the North Slope Borough. Running nearly parallel to the river's eastern bank, the Alaska Pipeline represents a significant feat of engineering, stretching through townships including t2n r14e and t1n r15e. The map illustrates the specialized terrain of the tundra, where the complex patterns of the riverbed contrast with the linear precision of the pipeline corridor. This document serves as a precise record of the land use and environmental state of this remote region during the early twenty-first century.
