The White Hills rise above a landscape of saturated arctic tundra in this detailed 2017 study of the North Slope. This specific portion of the Arctic Coastal Plain is defined by its complex network of seasonal wetlands and thaw lakes, where the land and water exist in a state of constant transition. The mapping provides precise grid alignments for the Public Land Survey System, including the intersection of T3n R10e, T3n R11e, T2n R10e, and T2n R11e. These townships represent the primary surveying framework for this remote region of the borough, capturing the terrain as it appeared before further industrial or infrastructure expansion. The absence of roads and human settlements highlights the wilderness character of the North Slope during the early 21st century.
