2020 Map of Teshekpuk A-5 NW

About this map

Topagoruk River winds through this expansive Arctic landscape within the North Slope Borough, carving a serpentine path through a complex network of thaw lakes and wetlands. The hydrography, derived from the National Hydrography Dataset, reveals the dynamic nature of this permafrost-influenced terrain, where the river's shifting channel is surrounded by countless unnamed basins. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including the intersection of t10n r16w and t10n r15w, offering a precise spatial reference for the vast, roadless reaches of Northern Alaska. This 2020 edition integrates modern elevation data to define the subtle relief of the coastal plain, where the hydrology dictates the patterns of the land.
