2017 Map of Sagavanirktok C-3 NE

About this map

Hydrological patterns and remote Arctic wetlands dominate this North Slope landscape, as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of lakes, ponds, and braided watercourses that shift through the permafrost-underlain tundra. Organized by the Public Land Survey System, the map covers portions of T5n R15e, T5n R16e, T4n R15e, T4n R16e, T3n R15e, and T3n R16e. This survey provides a baseline of the regional hydrography, showing the distribution of standing water across the low-relief coastal plain. The absence of named settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this borough, where the land remains shaped almost entirely by natural cycles and geological processes within the Sagavanirktok drainage system.
