About this map

Keruluk Cr winds through this Northwest Arctic landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the area's intricate system of wetlands and small kettle lakes. This survey highlights the complex hydrography of the Alaskan interior, where the creek meanders across the boundary lines of t11n r2e and t11n r3e, as well as t10n r2e and t10n r3e. The topography is defined by the subtle variations in elevation that dictate the flow of seasonal meltwater across these surveyed townships. Researchers can trace the natural contours of the land through this modern digital elevation record, which captures the hydrologic patterns of the region's vast, uninhabited terrain with ten-foot contour precision.
