2017 Map of Sagavanirktok D-1 SE

About this map

Kadleroshilik River meanders across the lower reaches of this North Slope landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and tundra. This 2017 survey details the remote coastal plain within the North Slope Borough, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Kadleroshilik River as it moves toward the Beaufort Sea. The map is defined by its vast systems of thermokarst lakes and patterned ground, characteristic of the Arctic permafrost environment. The survey data provides a clear view of the township and range divisions, including t6n r19e, t6n r20e, and t5n r20e, which organize this largely uninhabited territory. For researchers, the map captures the unaltered state of the river corridor before potential future industrial or environmental shifts.
