2020 Map of Teshekpuk B-1 NE

About this map

Kealok Creek winds through this low-lying Arctic landscape within the North Slope Borough, providing the primary drainage for an intricate network of wetlands and small lakes. This 2020 topographic study illustrates the vast hydrological patterns of the Alaskan tundra, where subtle elevation changes dictate the flow of water across the permafrost. The map focuses on the Public Land Survey System divisions of T13N and T12N, spanning ranges R6W to R4W. The lack of permanent structures or roads reflects the remote character of this region, emphasizing the natural state of the northern coastal plain. Geographers and environmental researchers can trace the meandering path of the creek as it moves through the numerous unnamed ponds that dominate this section of the Teshekpuk B-1 NE quadrangle.
