2017 Map of Sagavanirktok D-4 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Hydrological patterns and Arctic wetlands dominate this section of the Alaska North Slope, as mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2017. The landscape is a complex mosaic of thaw lakes and ponds within the Public Land Survey System boundaries of T8n R11e, T8n R12e, T7n R11e, and surrounding townships. This 7.5-minute quadrangle illustrates the extreme flatness of the coastal plain, where drainage is limited and water bodies are shaped by permafrost processes. The lack of roads or named settlements emphasizes the character of the terrain as it existed in the early 21st century, serving as a baseline for understanding the shifting hydrology and thermokarst features of the northern tundra.
