2017 Map of Sagavanirktok B-3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

The braided channels of the Sagavanirktok River dominate this portion of the North Slope, illustrating a vast arctic fluvial system during the early 21st century. Running parallel to the river's western bank, the Alaska Pipeline represents the critical energy infrastructure that redefined this remote region in the latter half of the 20th century. The settlement of Sagwon appears as a key reference point on the eastern side of the river, situated in an area where the terrain begins to transition from the river plain into higher elevations. Significant wetlands and numerous small thaw lakes characterize the landscape, particularly near the confluence of Baluk Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the industrial and environmental intersections in the Alaskan interior, documenting the specific corridor used for resource transport across the tundra.
