2013 Map of Teshekpuk A-3 SW

About this map

Ikpikpuk River dominates this Arctic landscape, its winding course forming a complex network of oxbow lakes and abandoned meanders across the coastal plain. In this 2013 survey, the river is the central geographical feature, illustrating the dynamic nature of North Slope hydrology where water constantly reshapes the permafrost terrain. The absence of permanent structures or roads underscores the wilderness character of the region, where the braided path of the Ikpikpuk River serves as the primary landmark for navigation and environmental study. This map provides a high-resolution view of the intricate thermokarst features and seasonal drainage patterns that define this section of the Teshekpuk A-3 SW quadrangle.
