2013 Map of Teshekpuk B-2 NW

About this map

Teshekpuk Lake dominates the northeastern corner of this Arctic landscape, its shore defining the edge of a complex hydrologic network in the North Slope Borough. This 2013 survey reveals a labyrinthine terrain of thermokarst lakes and interconnected wetlands, where low relief and seasonal thawing create an intricate web of water bodies. The presence of the Teshekpuk Lake shoreline provides a significant geographic anchor in an otherwise fluid environment of unnamed ponds and wandering drainages. The map serves as a meticulous record of the hydraulic patterns within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, documenting the subtle elevations and landforms that guide the movement of water across this vast coastal plain.
