2017 Map of Sagavanirktok D-1 NW

About this map

Shaviovik River and the Kavik River meander through this Arctic landscape on the North Slope, revealing a complex network of wetlands and braided stream channels. This 2017 survey details the hydrology of the coastal plain, where the rivers navigate a low-lying terrain marked by numerous small thaw lakes and saturated ground. The cartography provides a technical look at the t8n r18e and t7n r19e townships, documenting the subtle drainage patterns that define this northern Alaskan environment. Researchers can observe the natural progression of these waterways as they flow toward the Beaufort Sea, shifting through an area devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure.
