About this map

Hydrological patterns dominate this Arctic landscape, where an intricate network of thaw lakes and ponds stretches across the North Slope. These water bodies, varying from small pools to significant elongated lakes, are set within the vast wetlands of the coastal plain. The terrain is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the map covering the intersection of T10n R15w, T10n R14w, T9n R15w, and T9n R14w. There are no named settlements, roads, or structures on this remote section of the borough, reflecting a pristine environment defined entirely by its complex drainage and permafrost-influenced geography. The high density of water features illustrates the unique geomorphology of this high-latitude region during the early twenty-first century.
