2020 Map of Teshekpuk B-1 SW

About this map

Kealok Creek meanders through the northeast corner of this Arctic coastal plain landscape, which is defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and ponds. This 2020 map, produced using data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the BLM, illustrates the complex hydrology of the North Slope. The terrain is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t12n r7w and t11n r6w dividing the lake-heavy wilderness. The lack of roads or established settlements reflects the extreme isolation of this borough, where the land remains dominated by natural water features and seasonal wetlands.
