About this map

The vast coastal plain of the T8n R10w and T9n R10w townships represents a landscape defined almost entirely by water. This Arctic terrain consists of a dense network of lakes and wetlands, where the distinction between land and water is often subtle. The 2020 survey illustrates a complex hydrological system common across the North Slope, revealing how thaw lakes and interconnected water bodies dominate the geography. In this region, mapping the precise boundaries between T9n R9w and T8n R9w provides essential data for land management and environmental monitoring in an area largely devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure. The sparse labeling reflects the remote character of the tundra, where the primary features are the very shapes of the earth and the water that carves it.
