About this map

The Oumalik River meanders across this Arctic coastal plain in a complex series of oxbows and tight bends, defining the drainage patterns of the North Slope. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of thermokarst lakes and ponded wetlands that shift across the flat tundra. The survey captures the transition between the townships of t10n r14w, t10n r13w, t9n r14w, and t9n r13w, where the hydrology dictates the geography. Without roads or permanent settlements, the map focuses on the intricate natural watercourses and the seasonal terrain of this northern environment.
