The Kuparuk River flows through the northwestern corner of this Arctic landscape, carving a path through a vast network of thaw lakes and wetlands characteristic of the North Slope. This 2017 survey captures the territory just as modern geospatial standards were being applied to some of the most remote reaches of the United States. The topography is defined by extremely low relief and intricate hydrological patterns, reflecting a terrain where water and permafrost dictate the geography. Organized within the Public Land Survey System, the map covers portions of townships including T5n R10e, T4n R11e, and T3n R10e. Without established roads or settlements, the map serves as a primary record of the natural drainage and elevation changes across this portion of the borough.
