2018 Map of Table Mountain D-5 NE

About this map

The Sheenjek River defines this landscape in the eastern Brooks Range, winding through a series of valleys as it flows southward toward the Yukon basin. This 2018 survey documents a region of the North Slope Borough characterized by dramatic elevation changes and a complete absence of modern infrastructure or permanent settlements. The map highlights the vast scale of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the boundaries of several townships including T5s R36e and T6s R36e. Geologists and researchers can trace the intricate drainage patterns of the river and its unnamed tributaries, which carve through the high terrain to create a complex network of ridgelines and basins. The lack of roads or structures emphasizes the remote nature of this portion of the Alaskan interior at the time of the imagery.
