2020 Map of Teshekpuk A-5 SW

About this map

Ishuktak Creek meanders through a landscape defined by an intricate network of thaw lakes and wetlands within the t9n r16w and t8n r16w townships. This remote stretch of the North Slope represents the hydrologic complexity of the Arctic coastal plain as it appeared in 2020. The map reveals the characteristic orientation of numerous water bodies, which are separated by narrow strips of tundra and low-lying land. The lack of infrastructure or established roads highlights the untouched character of this territory, where surveying is defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries such as t9n r15w and t8n r15w.
